Special Issue – Social Inclusion, Volume 6, Issue 2

Call for Papers

Editor: Melissa J. Wilde (University of Pennsylvania, USA)

Deadline for Abstracts: September 15, 2017

Submission of Full Papers: January 15-31, 2018

Although scholars of American religion acknowledge religion’s deep interconnectedness with race, class, and ethnicity in the USA, we nonetheless typically study religion as a factor that is independent from other social structures. Likewise, we rarely systematically examine class, race or gender differences between or within American religious groups. This thematic issue will highlight research that moves beyond these weaknesses by publishing papers that intentionally examine aspects of inequality as they relate to religion. Papers that discuss both theoretical and methodological conundrums (and solutions) are welcome.

Social Inclusion is a peer-reviewed open access journal which provides academics and policy-makers with a forum to discuss and promote a more socially inclusive society.

Indexing: Web of Science (ESCI), Scopus and other databases.
