Introducing Theologies of Migration

The course focuses on methodological approaches in doing a theology of migration. It begins with anthropological-sociological perspectives to understanding migrants’ experiences, and suggests possible conceptual categories that can be used to construct migration theologies. Specific attention is given to the notions of “locus theologicus” and “signs of times.” Samples of specific attempts at doing systematic theologies from the migrants’ contexts are analyzed. Students are expected to participate in the construction of theologies for and with migrants.
