Contemporary Pagan Studies<\/a> is an interdisciplinary Unit, and we welcome submissions of theoretically and analytically engaged papers and panels relating to modern Paganism and Polytheism, employing scholarly analysis to discuss the topic from any relevant methodology or theoretical orientation. In addition to receiving paper or panel proposals on topics generally in the purview of Contemporary Pagan Studies, we especially welcome proposals that address the following themes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cultural appropriation.
\n\u2022 Contemporary approaches to magic.
\n\u2022 Practices involving ancestor worship or devotion.
\n\u2022 What are the analytical frameworks we use to discuss paranormal or magic phenomena?
\n\u2022 The works of Philip Pullman
\n\u2022 How is the current interest in Heathenry being impacted by trends in popular culture and media? In particular we seek papers exploring the influence of television shows such as \u201cThe Vikings\u201d, the rise of interest in genealogy and ancestry.com, internet message boards and meme culture, and Marvel. (Co-sponsored with the Religion and Popular Culture Unit<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Statement of Purpose<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

This Unit provides a place for scholars interested in pursuing studies in this newly developing and interdisciplinary field and puts them in direct communication with one another in the context of a professional meeting. New scholars are welcomed and supported, while existing scholars are challenged to improve their work and deepen the level of conversation. By liaising with other AAR Program Units, the Unit creates opportunities to examine the place of Pagan religions both historically and within contemporary society and to examine how other religions may intersect with these dynamic and mutable religious communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
