AAR-SW Friends,
Dr. Ann Horak of the Journal Interdisciplinary Humanities is seeking essays on “the role of religion and religious belief within the Humanities and the public sphere.” Potential contributors are invited to visit the journal website or send inquiries to Dr. Ann Horak at [email protected]. Below is the originally posted CFP.
Our newspapers, televisions, and social media feeds are filled daily with stories that involve some aspect of religion and religious belief. Religious literacy, however, seems sorely lacking at a time when informed dialog is critical. This issue of Interdisciplinary Humanities invites papers that consider the role of religion and religious belief within the Humanities and the public sphere.
Submissions might look at the role of religion and religious beliefs in constructing identities of gender and sexuality, in shaping public discourse around political issues, or in informing the creation of new mythologies in the gaming industry. Examinations of specific religions and their relationships to topics within the Humanities are also welcome. Submission and questions should be directed to Dr. Ann Horak [email protected].
