Syndicate

Syndicate is home to burgeoning intellectual community working within the humanities. It is a rapidly expanding network of scholars who are interested in not merely reviewing one anothers work, but engaging it with substance. It is a discursive space where mutual inquiry and collaboration are encouraged and nourished. Modeled upon conference sympos... ia, these dialogues focus on particular books and provide substantial critical engagement from a group of scholars whose interest intersect with the book being featured. Syndicate originally began by using recent publications in theological studies as a point of departure for addressing and engaging open questions in contemporary theology and ethics. As of 2016, we are expanding our focus towards the humanities at large. These forums are intended to provide significant attention and space for ongoing dialogue between these participants and the general public. We hope that the conversations of Syndicate will serve to create accessibility within academic thought and research, while at the same time drawing critical attention to important publications in the humanities. The model of the academic journal continues to be conceived in terms of quarterly print editions focused on essays and brief book reviews. Syndicate aims to provide a new forum that operates as a generative, discursive space for discourse in the humanities, re-contextualized as a digital and social media platform.Read More
