JSRNC Special Issue CFP – Religion, Water and Climate Change

Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture is pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue on the theme of the 2019 ISSRNC Conference – “Religion, Water and Climate Change: Changing Cultures and Landscapes”.

We welcome manuscript submissions from conference participants and scholars of all disciplines that address the intersections of religion, nature, and culture, and for this issue in particular, focus on religious and cultural responses to and conceptions of climate change and climate weirding, especially concerning water.

The anthropogenic destabilization of global climate systems elicits responses from religious actors, but also precipitates religious questions. Of particular interest are places, ecosystems, and environmental processes where climate-induced hydrological changes have religious ramifications: coastal communities, desertification, wetlands, sea level rise, erratic rainfall, melting permafrost and glaciers, intensifying tropical storms, mangroves, fishing and fishermen, etc.

By publishing this special issue, we hope to further advance conversations about the interconnections between water, climate, religion, and culture.
