This is an interview by Roland Boer, one of the coeditors of a new SAGE journal "Critical Research on Religion" (first two issues published in 2013). Boer talks about editorial policy and research

focus of the new publication. The title contains reference to Frankfurt School with its attempt to integrate Marxism, psychoanalysis and feminism into empirical social studies. The field also includes postcolonial, post-structuralist and gender studies. The editorial board of the new journal will also follow a certain agenda in dealing with religion, trying to distinguish between some "deficiencies" of religious phenomena and a potential "harm" they can produce from those elements of religion that contribute to the progress and fullness of human condition.
