Maps and mapping technologies help students better conceptualize the impact of larger social trends on the specific religious groups on which they focus in Courtney Bender's Religion and the City course. Students conduct individual research projects on religious sites in Manhattan, through which they try to understand how larger changes in the city have influenced those sites, whether by shifting immigrant populations, and changes in local economies using anthropological, historical and sociological approaches.
