The Association introduces you to the various guilds, societies, and organizations where scholars carry out their work. In this issue, we learned a bit about the British Association for the Study of Religion (BASR) from their secretary Suzanne Owen. Founded in 1954, BASR is a member association of the International Association for the History of Religions and of the European Association for the Study of Religions. Answers in our exchange were provided by Suzanne Owen (Secretary of the BASR) and reviewed by Stephen Gregg (President of the BASR).

In The Archive we republish an article that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of its time with its prescience. Our second pull for this issue is a 2005 piece from Lieve Orye where he discusses the intricacies of categorizing religious studies as an art or a science. He endeavors to find out if the field should be studied with a scientific approach. Orye posits that maybe this is not even a question we should be asking. This piece was originally published in Council for the Societies for the Study of Religion Bulletin 34.1–2, 14–18.

The Interview brings you in-depth exchanges with scholars working to reframe how we carry out the academic study of religion. In this edition, Michael J. Altman at the University of Alabama sat with Cody Musselman (Postdoctoral Research Associate at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis, PhD Yale 2022) to discuss SoulCycle, CrossFit, and evangelical Christianity in the United States. In so doing, these scholars of religion in America open up numerous possibilities for theorizing the intersections of capitalism, neoliberalism, and religion. This exchange has been excerpted from the 2021 Day Lecture at the University of Alabama.
访谈将为您带来与学者们的深入交流，这些学者们致力于重塑我们如何开展宗教学术研究。在本期节目中，阿拉巴马大学的Michael J. Altman与Cody Musselman(圣路易斯华盛顿大学John C. Danforth宗教与政治中心的博士后研究员，2022年耶鲁大学博士)一起讨论了美国的SoulCycle、CrossFit和福音派基督教。在这样做的过程中，这些美国的宗教学者为理论化资本主义、新自由主义和宗教的交集开辟了许多可能性。这段对话节选自阿拉巴马大学2021年的日间讲座。

In this 1994 article Kenneth Kramer (1941-2019) writes about his approach of “unteaching” to teach introductory religious studies courses, which involves more student engagement and peer to peer learning. Kramer posits that, “by approaching World Religions through sacred texts, and sacred texts through stories, the unteaching dynamic is given a structured content.” Our editorial team found this piece worth considering alongside recent calls for “ungrading” and reflexive reading in the religious studies classroom. This article was originally published in The Council on the Study of Religion Bulletin 15.4.

Scholars within and across fields such as the psychology of religion, sociology of religion, cognitive science of religion, religious studies, and theology often argue about the values and norms that ought to guide “academic” research in religion. Is it appropriate in the academy to explain religious phenomena by referring to supernatural forces (such as spirits or gods) as causal agents or to defend one’s scholarly arguments by appealing to the holy texts accepted as authoritative within one’s religious coalition? Debates surrounding such questions have remained intractable for decades in part because they have been based on anecdotal personal experiences rather than clear empirical data. This article presents the Methodological Naturalism-Methodological Secularism scale, a new survey instrument capable of moving forward debates about scholarly values in the academic study of religion. This initial deployment of the MNMS scale in a population of religion scholars (N=284) clarifies extant commitments, challenges common caricatures, and reveals unfamiliar configurations of academic values.

The Essay provides scholars space to share peer-reviewed research. Scholars are challenged not only to work though advancing the investigations happening a particular subfield, but also to give attention to what such work says to and about the larger field. In this issue, John Cappucci presents an ethnographic analysis of a Canadian Catholic diocese’s perception of Jews and Judaism, examining how it mirrors and diverges from the Roman Catholic Church’s official positions. Additionally, Cappucci thinks through issues of research design for studying and modeling social identity.

Relying on the collaborative input from doctoral graduates in the study of religion who have gone on to successful careers outside of academia, this essay offers a critique of the field for not adapting far quicker to the changing economic conditions of higher education over recent decades but also provides a variety of practical suggestions for how programs in our field can make tactical and substantive changes to better prepare graduate students for a far wider variety of professional futures, inasmuch as we all know that few, at least for the foreseeable future, will ever be hired as tenure-track faculty members.
