The Journal of Southern Religion is a fully peer-reviewed academic journal reflecting the best traditions of objective and critical scholarship in the study of religion. As an interdisciplinary venture, the editors invite submissions from historians, religionists, anthropologists, sociologists, and other interested scholars. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of Southern Religion but is especially interested in publishing manuscripts that address the following topics: 1) Regionalism in Southern Religion, e.g., Appalachia, the Gulf Coast, South Florida and the Caribbean; 2) religious aspects of Southern culture, e.g., Religion and cuisine, music, and Southern literature; 3) Southern civil religion; 4) local and folk religions, including ethnographic studies of congregations and parishes; 5) ethnicity including immigration and slave religions; 6) religion and race, class, disability, and gender issues in the South. Individuals desiring to submit their research to JSR should read the submissions policy.
