Canopy Forum, since its inception, has strived to be as intentionally inclusive in producing essays and novel scholarly pieces that give voice to authors in the field tackling a host of questions and topics – both well-explored and utterly novel – from around the world. In doing so, our readers and writers have benefited from collections of works that give us a taste of the truly dynamic scholarly environment in law and religion, as well as introductions to writers eager to offer ongoing contributions. It is in this spirit that Canopy Forum and Derecho en Sociedad began their collaboration. Derecho en Sociedad is a scholarly publication founded with the purpose of promoting a culture of research and cooperation across disciplines interested in the field of law. It takes, as its starting point, the study of law and its implications for society, as well as other disciplines in the social sciences. Thus, the reader benefits from anthologies of articles that expand their knowledge of law and social sciences with cutting-edge approaches. In its years of publishing, Derecho en Sociedad has given voice to authors across the world, many of whom are passionately dedicated to engaging questions and controversies in law and religion.
We are pleased to be able to provide you a glimpse into what some of them have to say. The following articles are designed as short highlights of the arguments that authors are putting forward in longer pieces for this upcoming issue of Derecho en Sociedad. They offer analyses of exceptional breadth and depth, and new points of consideration for all of us in the field. ♦
The following essays are reprinted and adapted on Canopy Forum in collaboration with the journal Derecho en Sociedad, a biannual electronic publication that is free and open access. Their issue 18(2) features full length articles in Spanish and English.
