About the Journal
The Journal of Hindu Studies publishes two issues a year, one guest-edited and one open for submissions, both on the same broad annual theme. These themes focus on theoretical meta-issues that are relevant to all fields within Hindu Studies, thus linking scholars in interdisciplinary dialogue. The themes are aimed at integrating articles from diverse disciplines and will include topics such as: ‘Hermeneutics and Interpretation’, ‘Aesthetics and the Arts’, ‘Text and Textuality’, ‘Reason and Rationality’, ‘Religious Discourse’, ‘Modernity’, ‘Archaeology and Artefact’, ‘Diaspora’, and ‘Cultural Geography’.
Through this unique approach the journal serves the needs of Hindu Studies as a vibrant and emerging discipline. Contributions aim to make concrete advances in the current debates and reflect the contemporary focus on methodology, comparativism, and the constructive resolution of critical issues in the field.
