The series Religion and Its Others: Studies in Religion, Nonreligion, and Secularity (RIO) publishes peer-reviewed, scholarly work that examines the multifaceted relationships between religion, nonreligion, and secularity. Monographs and edited volumes in this series explore how religious and nonreligious traditions form and reform within their cultural and political contexts, investigating their boundaries and what lies beyond them.
The series delves into seemingly nonreligious or "irreligious" phenomena that hold significant connections to religion, including atheism, agnosticism, and indifference. It analyzes the various modes of differentiation between religion and its "others," often institutionalized within cultural, legal, and political systems.
The RIO series publishes research from a wide range of disciplines, including:
- Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology of Religions
- History and Philosophy of Religions
- Political and Cultural Studies
- Media and Communication
- Performing Arts
The RIO series welcomes submissions that engage with these complex relationships in rigorous and thought-provoking ways, advancing the scholarly discourse on religion.
