Montreal, December 2019

Dear Readers:

 The Journal of the Council for Research on Religion (JCREOR) is pleased to publish the first volume of its E-Journal. The Journal of the Council for Research on Religion was born out of the McGill Center for Research on Religion (CREOR) which was active from 2006 to 2019. This first issue deals with the theme of “Religion and Violence,” a SSHRC funded colloquium that took place on April 17^th - 20^th, 2018. The colloquium was a collaboration between members of McGill and Concordia University, further details concerning the colloquium can be found on the following site: https://creorgraduate.wordpress.com/religion-and-violence-colloquium/

JCREOR is housed on the McGill Library Open Access platform and seeks to promote academic research in the field of Religious Studies. The Journal is an inter-disciplinary and inter-university entity drawing on the expertise and research interests present in the city of Montreal. It consists of members from a wide variety of academic disciplines; Religious Studies, Education, Law, Medicine, Music, Social Science disciplines, etc. JCREOR promotes collaborations with researchers from Montreal based universities and universities and colleges from around the world.
