Citation

There is a growing conversation among scholars on the practicalities, politics, and ethics of citation. How do we cite, and what are the effects of our citation practices? Who do we cite and why? Britt Halvorson and I have co-edited a special issue on citation that brings this conversation to the study of religion. There are particular issues of citation that arise in research on religious texts and communities, and we think the discussions around citation can help illuminate (and raise questions about) our work. We also think the study of religion has something to contribute to the broader conversation.

I have pasted in the table of contents below (and you can visit the journal's webpage here).
