The Critical Religion Association is an international scholarly association working on questions of ‘religion’ and related categories.

The website and the blog are edited on a day-to-day basis by Bashir Saade to whom all general enquiries should be directed in the first instance.

Scholars working in the field of Critical Religion are most welcome to apply to be included on this website.  At the present time there is no fee payable for inclusion: the sole criteria for appearing on the website are:

1. explicit engagement with our themes as outlined here;
2. a commitment to write at least two blog postings each year that develop thinking on these themes; these are subject to peer-review/editing.  In submitting blog postings, permission is automatically given to our partner, Ekklesia, to repost these texts on their website at no charge (note that Ekklesia identifies each posting by author as well as making the connection to the Critical Religion Association clear). Each new posting is automatically distributed via our mailing lists, Twitter and Facebook to over 2300 people, before it is picked up by Ekklesia, which has a readership of many thousands (these figures as of October 2015).

We warmly welcome scholars from all kinds of disciplines, and if you are interested in being included here, we ask that you send us:

1. a short CV/publications list, highlighting engagement with the themes we have outlined (some people also include a small photo of themselves); and
2. a text for an initial blog posting that addresses aspects of the themes outlined on our What is Critical Religion? page (suggested length: no more than 700-1000 words).

Applications will be decided on a case-by-case basis; we will get back to you as soon as we can on this.  Please note that inclusion on the site does not signify any kind of membership, decision-making or representative function, but you are, of course, very welcome to include your activities in the CRA on your CV etc.  To submit an application for inclusion on the site, please write to the Editor, Dr Nadadur Kannan.
