Power, politics and religion
In collaboration with OsloMet
Forthcoming semesters:
The world is characterized by increasing wealth disparities, major environmental challenges, and physical and cultural conflicts. Do you want to understand more about why this is so, and what opportunities for positive change exist? Then you would be wise to study what power and counterpower are, and what role history, institutions, culture, identities, and religions play. Hardly any part of the world is better suited to such studies than South America.
