Writing Between the Avant- and Arrière-Garde: Supporting Religious Education Scholars Who Write at the Intersections of Religious Teaching and Learning
Proposal abstract :
The editorial leadership of the Horizons in Religious Education book series seeks to inaugurate an initiative on intentional mentoring of scholars within the Religious Education Association for relevant and effective writing, to support emerging authors in the field to wrestle with big questions that integrate teaching, writing, and mentoring: How do we write? What do we write? For whom do we write? To kickstart the initiative, we bring senior and emerging religious education scholars together for reflective and supportive accompaniment, organized around a pilot Writing Retreat, to experiment with some best practices of mentoring authors toward successful “first books.” These efforts draw on the REA’s long-time commitment to intentional care for and empowerment of new and diverse scholarly voices, which we see as a critical example of embodied pedagogy.
