Pagans in Dialogue with the Wider World: A Pagan Studies Symposium<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, February 15, 2013 at San Jos\u00e9 State University (semi-concurrent with PantheaCon, February 15-18, 2013, DoubleTree Hotel, San Jose, California)<\/p>\n

Sponsored by San Jos\u00e9 State University, Humanities Dept., Comparative Religious Studies Program. Organizers: Lee Gilmore (SJSU) & Amy Hale (St. Petersburg College)<\/p>\n

Contemporary Paganism, in all its varieties, stands at a unique cultural and religious intersection that can provide insights for a wide range of global, social, and political subjects, beyond its own inward facing concerns.\u00a0 For this symposium, we are calling for scholarly submissions that focus on Paganism\u2019s contributions to and engagements with broader cultural and religious dialogues in an increasingly pluralist world.\u00a0 These could include, but are not limited to, explorations of Paganisms\u2019 endeavors in community, economic, media, health, legal, social justice, and institutional development work, as well as activist, applied, interdisciplinary, and interfaith work.<\/p>\n

More generally, all submissions that critically examine Paganism(s) in relationship to categories such as religion, culture, gender, identity, authenticity, power, and ritual \u2014 among other possible frameworks \u2014 are welcome.\u00a0 In addition, all papers presented at the symposium will be considered for publication in a special issue of The Pomegranate: The International Journal of Pagan Studies.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

All proposals & queries should be sent to pagansymposium@gmail.com
\nDeadline: September 15, 2012<\/p>\n
