The Sociology of Islam Journal  invites article submissions.We are delighted to announce the founding of the peer-reviewed, academic journal, the Sociology of Islam (SOI) to be published by Brill which will include four issues per year beginning in the Spring of 2013. Since Max Weber’s groundbreaking research on the sociology of religion, sociologists have grappled with aspects of religion both at the theoretical and empirical levels. While an increasing number of social scientists, particularly in recent decades, have employed innovative sociological frameworks for the study of Islam and Muslim Societies, this promising sub-discipline has so far lacked its own academic journal. The Sociology of Islam is intended to bridge this gap by functioning as an academic forum for the publication of innovative contributions to the study of Islam and Muslim societies. We welcome article contributions that address theoretical and empirical dimensions of the sociology of Islam and Muslim societies.You can submit your article using this website. You will find the author instructions attached.If you need further information, please do not hesitate contact us:Tugrul Keskin or Gary WoodEditor Email:sociologyofislam@yahoo.com Our book review editors are: Mustafa Gurbuz (mustafa.gurbuz@uconn.edu) andJoshua D.
