CFP: Articles on Teaching Religion

By David W. Stowe

To all you pedagogues who can write on deadline: there is still time. The editors of Transformations: The Journal of Inclusive Scholarship and Pedagogy, are seeking articles (5,000-10,000 words) and media essays (overviews on books, film, video, performance, art, music, websites, etc. 3,000 to 5,000 words), and items for the "Material Culture of Teaching” section, that explore teaching and religion.

 
Submissions should explore strategies for teaching about religion in the classroom and in non-traditional spaces (such as the media and public discourse). We welcome jargon-free essays from all disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
 
Transformations is a journal which invites college teachers to take pedagogy seriously as a topic of scholarly articles.
For further guidelines, see instructions for authors. 
Deadline: November 15, 2013.  Queries welcome.
