Teach with Us
Share your expertise. Get paid well.
Who We Are
From the team behind YouTube's Religion for Breakfast, the Religion Department is an online learning platform where scholars can teach enthusiastic learners from across the globe.
We think that more people than ever want to learn about religion from trusted sources. And that those teachers should be paid well and set up to succeed.

Guest Lectures
We invite scholars of religion to explain important topics and present their latest research, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
Aim for the "300 level," giving the audience specialized information that they can't easily get without academic training-- but still define your terms and be welcoming to newcomers.
45 min Lecture + 30 min Q&A

Guided Readings
Not all religions have texts, but reading with an expert is a time-honored tradition. Our version is a casual livestream that's equal parts academic reading group and video reading guide.
Our members are especially interested in sacred texts, read with critical awareness of contemporary scholarship.

Seminars
Seminars are our most in-depth teaching experience, usually involving 8 weeks of weekly lectures, challenges, and forums. These "happen once" and are not resold, for student privacy and teacher IP.
If you haven't worked with us yet, we recommend starting with a Guest Lecture or Guided Reading so that we can get to know each other.
