4 UF in India at Farm Indic Landscapes: Mind, Body, Cosmos REL 4956/6957 Travis Smith Department of Religion Incorporating primary texts, secondary scholarship and experiential learning, this course will explore issues of place, space and personhood in the Indian context. Our readings will provide background and context for the study abroad experience at Bija Vidyapeeth, a research institute featuring an organic farm situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, outside of Dehradun, India. The course is designed to provide links between two related, components of the UF in India study abroad program: pilgrimage and yoga. For the first of these, we will explore stories of the land, with a special focus on the rich associations of the area in which we will be staying, which features the grand and storied Himalaya mountains and the revered river Ganga. For the yoga component of the course, our readings are designed to complement our practice of Hatha ( Physical ) Yoga, which will be led by a local Yogi. Regular presence in yoga class is required. At, our main text on yoga will be the Bhagavad Gītā, a portion of the voluminous epic, the Mahābhārata. We will also focus on the works of the modern thinker, Swami Vivekananda ( ), who provides an influential, Neo-Hindu exposition of the theory and practice of yoga. In Vivekananda s system, there are four yogas, each of which presents a distinctive approach to self-realization (and we will explore the meaning of this term): Jñāna (Knowledge), Bhakti (Devotion), Raja (Meditation) and Karma (Action). The class will be in seminar format, meeting mornings from 11-12:30pm. There will be 12 days of class, plus a three-day workshop offered by founder Vandana Shiva. The remainder of the time on our six-week program will be spent in actual travel, visiting shrines, monasteries, other organic farms, as well as local community leaders and religious specialists. Pre-departure Readings These works will provide background for the topics which we will be exploring in the course. The bulk of the readings are available on the e-learning course site as.pdf files which you can download. The only exceptions to this are the Narayan book, which you should purchase at Goering s (1717 NW 1 st Avenue) or online, and Barbara Miller s Gita translation (a very readable translation), cheaply available online.

7 UF in India at Farm Rethinking Globalization: Gender, Communities, Representation WST 4956/6957 Anita Anantharam Center for Women s Studies and Gender Research This course will trace some of the major arguments about globalization and development in India. We will begin with Rabindranath Tagore s seminal novel The Home and the World in which the different characters debate the different strategies to India s independence from colonial rule. This will be followed by MK Gandhi s reading of indigenous knowledge, drawing as he does from scriptural and historical archives, as a response and a critique of colonialism and Western power. We will then explore the implications of indigenous frameworks on political praxis: using interpretative strategies we will discuss the work of Mahasweta Devi (and her activism for tribal rights of women) and Vandana Shiva s arguments about religion, gender, and nature. Student initiated final projects will seek to place these studies from various historical periods (Tagore: 19 th century; Gandhi: 20 th century; and Devi/Shiva: 21 st CE) in dialogue, and propose nuanced models and methods of understanding globalization today. This is an intensive six-week class held in a study abroad context. The program is not being held in a city where one can escape the classroom and immerse oneself in other activities. Because we are living on an organic farm in a rural part of Dehradun, India, it will be difficult to separate your in-class experience from your day-to-day living on the farm. Daily yoga class, common meal times, co-habitation with your co-pilgrims and instructors can become intense at times. I encourage you to keep a journal of your thoughts and experiences both of the readings/discussions but also of your outof-classroom journeys. These journal entries make great letters to your family and friends; at the same time, your personal reflections may provide the basic skeleton for your final papers, by helping your remember your day-to-day activities when you are miles away at home writing your papers. The class will be in seminar format, meeting afternoons from 4:00-5:30 pm. There will be 20 days of class, plus a two-day workshop offered by founder Vandana Shiva. The remainder of the time on our six-week program will be spent in actual travel, visiting shrines, monasteries, other organic farms, as well as local community leaders and religious specialists. The course will be structured thematically as follows: o Tagore s Vision of Education and Politics o Gandhi, Women and Globalization o Women s Indigenous Knowledge, Memory, and Politics
