Teaching

 

Dr. Harvey’s teaching aims to critically awaken students to the cultural and historical processes that shape not only what they know, but also how they know. Students are challenged to discover the knowledge regimes most implicated in framing their understanding of the world in relation to other communities who make sense of the world independently. In the classroom and through mentorship, Dr. Harvey guides students in developing the skills necessary to make creative but well-informed intellectual interventions useful to society. 

He teaches the following courses:

  • African Religions in the Western Imagination (Spring 2024)

  • African Religious Thought and Modernity (Coming Soon!)

  • Vodou Gods and Atlantic Perils: African Religions in the New World (Fall 2023)

  • Zora Neale Hurston, Literature, and Black Religious Theory (Coming Soon!)

  • Religion and Horror (Spring 2024)
