Scope and content
Prof. Richardson taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in the Department of Religious Studies from his appointment in 1974 and on after his retirement in 2000. This series documents the courses he taught both on site during the academic year, as well as in the summer during study tours to the Middle East. Course files are arranged by course number, and then chronologically. Files may include lecture notes, course descriptions, correspondence, reading lists, examination questions, course evaluations by students, syllabi, etc.
In addition Prof. Richardson’s expertise in the teaching of religious studies resulted in requests from other universities in Ontario and Quebec to evaluate their programmes of study in this field. Among the universities were Carleton University, University of Waterloo, Queen’s University, University of Quebec, and Concordia University. Most of these were undertaken during his career with the University, but extended into his retirement years.
