The Religion and Migration Consultation is a forum in which scholars working on religion and migration from multiple perspectives can interact across methodologies, religious traditions, and regions. We solicit papers addressing the religions of migrating peoples that explore a range of the religious needs and practices of uprooted participants who adapt to new environments and impact their societies of origin and destination. We understand religion and migration broadly, from the religious communities of rural migrants in regional cities to the new understandings of religion second generation children construct to make sense of their ethnic identities. If you are interested in subscribing to the Religion and Migration listserv, please contact Jennifer B. Saunders, consultation co-chair, by e-mail (jbsaund1@yahoo.com).
