                                  Religion Research in the Digital Age




© 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd
How has technological innovation
 changed the way research has been
conducted over the last several years?

Are digital resources widely embraced
 in the religious studies community?
Has the religious studies community
been slower to embrace the potential
   of technological innovation?
How has the widespread adoption of
specialist software for organizing and
   analyzing, and the internet for
disseminating data affected religious
               studies?
In addition to opening up new
   possibilities, how do you think
technology will affect future research
              priorities?
Do you think the uptake of digital
technology will help religious studies
scholars answer criticism from other
    fields that religious studies is
   insufficiently social scientific?
Has the internet had a significant
impact on how we teach students, and
       the work they produce?
What advice would you give early
career scholars about how to help
 their students evaluate internet
           resources?
As the internet expands will scholarly,
peer-reviewed journals become more
important in undergraduate teaching,
as their scholarly integrity is reliable?
As the chief executive of the Society
  for the Scientific Study of Religion,
  which publishes a highly regarded
  journal, what are your thoughts on
how the digital revolution has affected
    the dissemination of scholarly
                articles?
In what ways do academics use digital
media to reach out to the wider public?
Do you think that in the near future
funding bodies may favor academics
 who are better at engaging with the
           wider public?
Would you advise early career
scholars to treat public outreach with
               caution?
Even though the fundamental
 responsibilities of the academy may
not change, might the possibilities the
digital revolution is opening up cause
     us to rethink what we value?
