2012 Call for Papers
Comparative Studies in Religion Section
This Section seeks proposals that provide occasion for comparative inquiry, engaging two or more religious traditions around a common topic and reflecting critically on the conceptual tools employed in the inquiry. We request only group proposals in the form of thematic paper sessions (four presenters, presider, and respondent) or panel sessions (maximum of six presenters). No individual papers as final submissions please. We reserve the right to add individuals to any group proposal.
