Abstract
ABSTRACT The field of psychedelic studies is expanding at a rapid pace and the need for academic institutions to engage more directly with this emergent field is growing. There have been some initial moves within the academy to begin tackling this evolving landscape, but these efforts have been relatively siloed along traditional disciplinary lines. Academic inquiry helps shape our collective engagement with – and understanding of – the world around us. An interdisciplinary approach to psychedelic studies is essential for building our understanding of the potential of psychedelics for human healing and flourishing, and for ensuring an inclusive, holistic and sustainable evolution of this field. This paper explores the intersection of psychedelic studies and interdisciplinarity, and calls for more interdisciplinarity in academia’s institutional and cultural approach to engaging with this complex and dynamic field.

The International Journal for the Psychology of Religion (IJPR) is devoted to psychological studies of religious processes and phenomena in all religious traditions. This journal provides a means for sustained discussion of psychologically relevant issues that can be examined empirically and concern religion in the most general sense. It presents articles covering a variety of important topics, such as the social psychology of religion, religious development, conversion, religious experience, religion and social attitudes and behavior, religion and mental health, and psychoanalytic and other theoretical interpretations of religion. The journal publishes research reports, brief research reports, commentaries on relevant topical issues, book reviews, and statements addressing articles published in previous issues. The journal may also include a major essay and commentaries, perspective papers of the theory, and articles on the psychology of religion in a specific country.
