Scientology

with Dr. Philippa Carter, Teaching Professor in McMaster`s Department of Religious Studies, McMaster Alumna

The Department of Religious Studies at McMaster has been her second home for many years first as a graduate student, then as a sessional lecturer and as a contractually appointed (temporary) member of faculty. Now, as the Department’s teaching professor, she spends the bulk of her time teaching and learning about teaching in the undergraduate program. Each year she teaches courses in Level 1, the required Level 3 course “Approaches to the Study of Religion” and one or two courses in Biblical Studies or Religion & Culture in Level 2. Her graduate training was in Judaism and Christianity in the Greco-Roman world with a minor in Asian traditions. Many things have changed in the academic study of religion over the years but the rewards of teaching and learning with undergraduates at McMaster are constant.
