It's that time again...
AAR has posted CFPs and is now accepting submissions for this year's annual conference, which will be held November 21-24, in Atlanta, Georgia.
Below find information for paper submissions to the Religion in the American West Group:
Religion in the American West Group
Call for Papers: Proposals for individual papers or a full session are solicited on the following topics:
• The wielding and negotiation of power and authority in religious contexts in the North American West. Specifically, we seek papers that critically interrogate the various and distinctive forms religious authority has taken in the American West, and the consequences of the exercise of that authority. Possible areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to, discussions of power in relation to land disputes, religious groups and governmental entities, institutional vs. popular religious practices, and the establishment and maintenance of religious authority in the West. Topics for papers should not only be situated in the North American West but should also deal significantly with unique aspects of the region or novel analytical approaches. Papers for this session will be precirculated.
• The post-1965 religious and ethnic demographic changes and realities in the North American West (for a possible co-sponsored session).
• The history and impact of Asian religions and the religions of Asian Americans in the Pacific Rim and the North American West (for possible quad-sponsorship with the Buddhism in the West Group, the Japanese Religions Group, and the North American Hinduism Group).
