We are excited to introduce a new journal! Coming in 2012, the Journal of Religion and Violence will be an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the study of religion and violence. In addition to publishing analyses of contemporary and historical religious groups involved in violent incidents, the Journal of Religion and Violence will publish articles and book reviews on theorists of religious such as René Girard, sacrifice, terrorism, inter- and intra-religious violence, war and religion, and religiously-legitimated violence against women. Academic researchers with interests in these areas are encouraged to submit articles and book reviews.
The current widespread interest in religion and violence appears to be a more or less direct result of tragic events that have taken place in recent decades. Though at present there is no association for the study of religion and violence, one can nevertheless find hundreds of relevant courses being taught at institutions of higher learning. These classes, most of which were added to university curricula in the past decade, have helped to establish religion and violence as a de facto field of study.
We plan to make one of our first two issues a special issue on the pedagogy of religion and violence. Thus, in addition to standard article-length treatments, we also invite teachers of relevant courses to submit other kinds of materials, such as short essays dealing with specific issues in the teaching of religion and violence, annotated syllabi, et cetera – almost anything that could conceivably be useful to an instructor designing and/or teaching a course on religion and violence.
