Power, Politics and Religion in South America

Power, Politics and Religion in South America is a 30 ETCS course taught during one semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a joint venture between Oslo Metropolitan University and Kulturstudier (Culture Studies), an independent Oslo-based enterprise that offers international academic courses at study centers in Vietnam, Nepal, Ghana, Argentina and Costa Rica. Kulturstudier’s university partner in Buenos Aires is Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSM), and a limited number of study places are awarded to Argentinian students. The semester starts with an initial 7 weeks’ self-study period; followed by 10 weeks of teaching at UNSM in Buenos Aires; and concludes with a 3-week exam writing period.

The course is taught through an interdisciplinary approach incorporating elements of history, political science, political economy, geography, social anthropology and cultural studies, with the objective of giving students an understanding of key issues related to power, politics and religion in South America. To ensure in-depth knowledge and learning – while simultaneously reflecting the diversity of the region – the course has a particular focus on three select countries: Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia.
