“…(Veltmeyer 2005, 514) In summary, therefore, it can be seen that only 13 out of a total of 824 articles in the course of CJDS history refer to a religious term in either title or abstract. The overall relationship between religion and development is addressed in direct analysis rather than tangential mention in the articles by Williams (1984), Barua and Wilson (2005), Ali (2005) and Afshar (2005aAfshar ( , 2005b, and perhaps those by Channell (2000) and Dhesi and Singh (1989). In addition, the article by Fugere (1994) is a noteworthy reminder that faith communities play a significant role in development.…”

Although faith, religion and spirituality are central to the lives of millions in the global south, few scholars in the north explicitly address religion's role in development. This study explores this disjuncture in Canadian academia by analysing references to religion and related terms across 32 volumes of the Canadian Journal of Development Studies and in international development studies (IDS) course descriptions at Canadian universities. Fewer than 1 per cent of the articles and IDS courses explicitly address religion and development. An examination of other key publications in the field suggests that growing interest in religion and development in the past decade has not been reflected in the Canadian academy.RÉ SUMÉ Bien que la foi, la religion et la spiritualité soient centrales à la vie de millions de personnes du Sud, peu de chercheurs du Nord abordent son rôle dans le développement. L'analyse des références à la religion dans 32 volumes de la Revue canadienne d'études du développement et dans les descriptions de cours universitaires canadiens portant sur le développement international montre que cette disjonction est présente dans la recherche canadienne. En effet, moins d'un pour cent des articles et des cours traitent explicitement la relation entre la religion et le développement. L'intérêt croissant que d'autres publications clés dans le domaine des études du développement ont porté au rapport entre religion et développement durant la dernière décennie ne trouve donc pas son équivalent dans la recherche canadienne.
