| Zusammenfassung: | As an academic community, religious studies scholars and educators are facing a significant challenge. In part, that challenge connects with challenges to the humanities more broadly. However, religious studies is not the humanities; many of us draw on social sciences or natural sciences methodology, and some of us are involved in multi- or interdisciplinary research. Our problem is much bigger than the crisis in the humanities. Religious studies as a field is ill-prepared to adjust to the shifts in academic, social, economic, political, and global landscapes currently underway. The future of religious studies depends on our ability to recognize and adapt to these shifts. Religious studies will advance (or falter) on these four fronts: research publication, student education, institutional relations, and public engagement. |
