What you've wanted to know all quarter but were afraid to ask:
Why exactly did I lecture on the Jesuits?

Here is what I had in mind:

Complicating Globalization, Complicating Religion --Visual Reminder

Example of premodern globalization and trade in cultural goods (religion)
Power relationships operative then and now (European colonialism; Western dominance)
Religious beliefs vs.socio-political effects (when universal "truth" gets translated into local contexts)

Here is how individual lectures fit in:

Shaping Social Life: Religion and Gender Norms -- Visual Reminder

"Selling" Religion: The Jesuit Multimedia Campaign

Balancing Tradition and Innovation -- Visual Reminder

A question yet to be answered: what kind of global citizen will YOU be?
