Call for Papers: What should a book on religions in
California contain? for the 2015 Annual Meeting of the California
American Studies Association, held April 24-25 on the campus of California
State University, Fullerton.
It goes without saying that religions play a dynamic role in
the drama that is the story of California from the beginning through the
present. Yet, no one volume yet exists to tell this story in the twenty-first century.
Perhaps now, the time is right to for this new project.
What should a book on religion in California contain? What
should be its scope, its loci and its foci? What should be its structure? Who
should be its author(s)? Three to four presentations are invited to provide a
roundtable conversation to explore this topic.
Presentations need not be lengthy (no more than fifteen
minutes maximum) nor conclusive (as they are meant to initiate conversation).
This detail is important so as not to tax the efforts of any wishing to
contribute their proposal to this exploration.
In fact, a quick reply will be sufficient. By
January 14 (so that the January 15 deadline can be met), please e-mail
a 250 word abstract and a brief (one to two page) c.v. to the
panel organizer at ray.kibler.iii@ecunet.org.
Questions in advance are welcomed.
