Declining or Waning
- Traditional Religious Studies:
Research specifically focused on traditional religious practices appears to be waning, with a shift toward examining lived religion and spirituality in contemporary contexts. - Economic Inequality as a Sole Focus:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers solely addressing economic inequality without intersecting themes of identity, migration, or environmental issues, suggesting a broader approach to these discussions. - Historical Analysis of Past Conflicts:
While historical analyses remain relevant, there is a reduction in papers that focus exclusively on historical events without linking them to current social movements or contemporary issues. - Gender Studies in Isolation:
Studies focusing solely on gender issues without intersectional analysis (e.g., considering race, class, or sexuality) seem to be declining, indicating a trend toward more integrated approaches.
