Thinking Religion in Place

The Journal for the Academic Study of Religion (JASR) was founded—under the title of the Australian Religion Studies Review (ARSR)—some 35 years ago in 1988 and renamed in 2013. Now, the co-editors are relaunching the journal: this time, our name remains the same, but our song is changing. Our hope is to make the JASR distinctive in the religious studies publishing landscape. Although there are many high-quality journals in our field, we want to offer a unique scholarly conversation in our pages, one captured by the title of this editorial: thinking religion in place.
