1 Introduction (Tim Hutchings) This article brings together three short pieces reflecting on the relationship between religion, media and public scholarship in different parts of the world. By sharing our own international conversation, we aim to promote the continued emergence of global
Public scholarship has become a buzzword among colleges and universities that increasingly encourage their faculty to translate and share their research to a broader public beyond the academy through media outlets. Scholars of media, culture, and religion are well placed to do this work, by
saying that these complex emerging relations call out for scholarships which can rise to the occasion of analysis and interpretation. Challenges for Public Scholarship The scholarships that might address these issues and trends face their own set of challenges. Indeed, it can be argued that
Over his abbreviated career, Garrett George Fagan (1963–2017) produced an impressive body of academic and public scholarship notable not only for its quality, but also for its range and impact (see Appendix for a complete list of Fagan’s publications). During his review for promotion to
“This article offers a portrait of the milieu and scholarly activity of César de Missy, an assiduous and richly connected but hitherto unknown member of the Republic of Letters in eighteenth-century London. De Missy preached at Huguenot churches and collected books, especially bibles: he published little, but left a great deal of scholarship in manuscript, mostly concerned with the readings and codicology of the Greek New Testament. Perhaps his most peculiar and revealing pursuit was the minute study of scribal error in the production of manuscripts, an activity that absorbed his attention far more than its profit might seem to warrant. I argue that De Missy's fixation on the multiple histories of the scriptural text represents a private reaction to loss, turning away from the more conventional public scholarship of the Huguenot diaspora.”
Abstract
This article draws the genocide of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire into the comparative study of indigenous genocide. Using a Human Rights Studies approach, I focus on the transfer of indigenous children by state authorities through carceral institutions to argue that the ideology and practice of modern humanitarianism is a definitive shared element of indigenous genocides across the late-19th and early-20th Centuries. Common experiences of denial by powerful states and cultural erasure invite added comparison and intersectional solidarity. The article is written to address Native American and Armenian Studies scholars together, elaborate a working vocabulary for future collaborative research in Human Rights Studies and serve as a point of departure for public scholarship and policy engagement.
