Call for Panels

We invite contributions from all disciplines of religious studies and
related fields of research to allow for broad, interdisciplinary
discussion of the Congress topic to register their panels for the XXI
World Congress of the IAHR. Panels should address one of the four
thematic Congress areas: Religious Communities in Society: Adaption
and Transformation - Practices and Discourses: Innovation and
Tradition - The Individual: Religiosity, Spiritualities and
individualization - Methodology: Representations and Interpretations.

Each panel lasts two hours. Panel papers should be limited to 20 to 30
minutes, depending on the number of panel participants. Panel
conveners are asked to approach possible participants from different
nations to reflect the scope and internationality of the IAHR Congress.

To propose a panel, please submit a general proposal of the panel as
well as individual proposals of all papers included in the panel. Both
panel and papers of a proposed panel will be evaluated by the Academic
Program Committee to ensure a high academic standard of the Congress
program. We therefore ask panel conveners to submit the proposals of
all prospective panel participants of a proposed panel as indicated by
the submission form. Proposals of panels and of papers should not
exceed 150 words.

The deadline for submission of proposals is Sunday, September 14,
2014. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the IAHR 2015
website (www.iahr2015.org). As part of the submission process, you
will be asked to indicate the area in which you would like your
proposal considered. Your proposal will then be forwarded to the
appropriate member of the Academic Program Committee.

You will receive notice concerning the status of your proposal as soon
as possible and certainly before March 1, 2015. If your panel or paper
has been accepted by the Academic Program Committee, please note that
you will have to register as Congress participant before May 15, 2015
to be included in the Congress program.
