Call For Papers JCREOR Volume 5 Issue 1

Religious Tensions and Cohesions

The editors of McGill’s Journal of the Council for Research on Religion (JCREOR) are pleased to announce a call for papers for our forthcoming volume (Vol. 5, Issue 1). The issue will be dedicated to examining and understanding social cohesions and conflicts, with particular interest in what role religion or religious traditions play within communities of diverse peoples. Tension points within communities arise for various reasons, but what role does religion play in creating or appeasing these tension points? How do neighbours and communities living in close proximity to one another live with religious diversity? How do religious communities manage tensions within their communities? Has religion produced solutions or conflict? What approaches to social and cultural tensions have allowed for cohesion, and what approaches have led to intensification of tensions?
