X-post: Reply-To: H-NET/KIAPS List for Japanese History <H-JAPAN@H-NET.MSU.EDU> On-line editor: Janet R. Goodwin <jan@cs.csustan.edu> (crosspost from H-Asia) H-JAPAN July 20, 2010 From: Pascale Engelmajer <pascale.fifou@gmail.com> CALL FOR PAPERS Women and Religion: Doctrinal, Historical and Social Perspectives Saturday 20 November 2010 University of Bristol, UK Keynote speaker: Dr. Carolyn Muessig, Reader in Medieval Religion, University of Bristol This interdisciplinary conference seeks to bring together doctoral researchers and early career academics from a variety of disciplines and fields to explore the role and place of women in religion encouraging research and collaboration in the University of Bristol itself, and with other Universities both within the UK and abroad. The research on women and religion is often divided by religious tradition or academic field, and often occurs at the margins of academic discourse and practice. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to expand the focus of research by sharing approaches and perspectives in different religious traditions and in different academic fields. We are now accepting abstracts for the 3 panels running at the conference, each consisting of three 20 minutes papers. Contributions are welcome from any perspective: theological, historical, anthropological, sociological, archaeological, etc. as long as the paper deals centrally with the theme of one of the following panels: * Women Religious Leaders * The Ordination of Women: Controversy in Different Religious Traditions? * Women's Spiritual Paths: Subverting the Patriarchal Religious Order We are also accepting submissions of posters, to be composed in A1 format (594x841 mm, 23.39x33.1 in). Six posters (two for each of the above themes) will be selected to be exhibited at the conference venue. Poster authors will have the opportunity to discuss their work with participants during tea and lunch breaks. Please send your abstracts of 500 words or less and posters, both in .pdf format to Jinho Fashi (thzmc@bristol.ac.uk) AND Massimo Rondolino (m.rondolino@bristol.ac.uk). The deadline for receipt of abstracts and posters is 10 September 2010. It is hoped that an edited volume arising from Conference proceedings will be published after the event. Participation to the conference is free, and includes lunch and refreshments. Some help may also be available to assist speakers and poster presenters with travel expenses.
