From the University of Alabama's Department of Religious Studies comes Studying Religion in Culture, a collection of blogs designed to foster conversation about "the manner in which those behaviors and institutions named as religion are elements of ordinary cultural practices." This collection includes six blogs: one authored by faculty; one "by or about" undergraduate students; one "by or about" graduate students"; one guest blog (authored by scholars from other departments or institutions); a collection of blogs created for specific classes; and a serialized blog that contains 24 separate essay posts. All of these blogs contain images, essays, tidbits, video clips, and more that may appeal to scholars and students of religious studies. Recent posts include a lengthy essay about a movie adaptation of Ghost in the Shell by religious studies scholar Ting Guo and a conversation between a faculty member and a student about the newly launched Database of Religious History.
