Forthcoming [CLOSED]: Movement and religion (December 2021).
Movement and religion are intimately related, from faith-based mandates of pilgrimage and proselytism to religiously driven displacement and exclusion. Religions have also been influenced by mobility and diverse cultural encounters and shaped by them into new local forms. At the same time, faith or spirituality can be a key source of sustenance for people on the move, physically (e.g. when receiving shelter or provisions from religious groups) or spiritually, as a source of hope. Religious leaders often operate as cultural brokers, facilitating or shaping the incorporation of newcomers into receiving societies; while differences in beliefs can cause generational conflicts within migrant communities. For this issue, we are looking for contributions that address the topic of movement and religion in any of its forms.
This call for submissions is already closed, but you can read more about our upcoming issue here.
