Postgraduates Producing Knowledge

Abstract

Introducing this special issue, “Postgraduates Producing Knowledge”, the editor provides background. The articles in this issue arose out of an ongoing experiment in knowledge production in a postgraduate course on theory and method in the study of religion in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Cape Town. Although the articles in this issue are of interest in their own right, the process of their publication reveals important features of the production, authentication, and circulation of knowledge in the academic study of religion and religions.
