Tutor and part-time lecturer Dr. David G. Robertson been appointed co-editor of the Equinox journal, Implicit Religion. Image Following the death of the founding editor, Edward Bailey, last year, Dr Robertson will take over as co-editor. The journal will now be published in collaboration with The Religious Studies Project, taking a new, critical direction. His co-editor is Jack Laughlin of the University of Sudbury, Canada "Implicit Religion" is an international platform for scholarship that challenges the traditional boundary between religion and non-religion and the tacit assumptions underlying this distinction. It invites contributions from a critical perspective on various cultural formations that are usually excluded from religion by the gatekeeping practices of the general public, practitioners, the law, and even some scholars of religion. Taking a broad scope, "Implicit Religion" showcases analyses of material from the mundane to the extraordinary, but always with critical questions in mind such as: why is this data boundary-challenging? what do such marginal cases tell us about boundary management and category formation with respect to religion? and what interests are being served through acts of inclusion and exclusion?
