Call for Papers

Date: April 17-18, 2018

Venue: University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, USA

Proposal Submission Deadline: June 17, 2017

The Religion and Spirituality in Society Research Network sets out in its conference, journal, book series, and online community, to describe, analyze, and interpret the role of religion in society. The network’s intellectual project is neutral with respect to the agendas of particular religions or explicit counterpoints to religion such as agnosticism or atheism.

The scope of this conference, journal, book series, and online Research Network is as broad as possible in the field of religious studies. Together, these forums seek to create a space for the representation of any and all perspectives on the role of religion and spirituality in society. We also welcome a wide variety of disciplinary practices. The perspectives captured in these spaces range from committed within-religion views, to comparative or pan-religious views, to areligious empirical or theoretical readings of the role of religion and spirituality in society. Above all, they provide spaces for open dialogue on the sources of foundational or essential meaning.
