Subject: [Synkron] ***IMPORTANT UPDATE RE EASR/IAHR 2013 LIVERPOOL
CONFERENCE 3-6 SEPTEMBER***

Dear EASR/IAHR Member
***IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING EASR/IAHR 2013 LIVERPOOL CONFERENCE 3-6
SEPTEMBER***
The 2013 BASR / EASR / IAHR Conference to be held in Liverpool Hope
University is announcing a re-launch for the conference. Prof. Ron
Geaves, the conference organiser to date, has had to step aside due to
health issues, so there is now a new conference team structure in
place, and we are using this as an opportunity to re-launch the
conference and provide key information updates:

1) Secure online registration is NOW LIVE ? please go to
www.hope.ac.uk/religionmigrationmutation<http://www.hope.ac.uk/religionmigrationmutation> for details of full residential conference packages, day rates (for those not requiring on-campus accommodation) and useful
travel
information.

2) The deadline for submission of panels and papers has been EXTENDED
TO JUNE 15TH. We are delighted with the quality of panels and papers
submitted so far, and welcome further submissions.

3) Please use the dedicated email address for any queries ?
easrcon...@hope.ac.uk<mailto:easrcon...@hope.ac.uk>

4) A detailed timetable will be released after the deadline for
panel/paper submissions, but for those making travel plans, the
conference will start with registration 10am-4pm on Tues 3rd and end
after lunch on Friday 6th.

5) In addition to panels, papers and meetings, the full conference
package will include a Gala Dinner with accompanying live band playing
1960s Beatles/?Merseybeat? music for which the city is so famous, and
there will be a cultural tour of Liverpool?s UNESCO World Heritage
Site Docks and Museums quarter.

Liverpool ? the European Capital of Culture in 2008 - is a very
exciting city with UNESCO World Heritage Status for its iconic Docks
area. With more Georgian buildings than any other city in Britain,
other than Bath, Liverpool boasts a world-renowned Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Walker Art Gallery, the new multi-million pound
waterside Museum of Liverpool, one of only two Tate Art Galleries
outside of London, two of the most famous football teams in Europe,
and the largest Cathedral in Britain. Home to the Beatles, and many
other successful ?Merseybeat? bands of the 1960s, the city retains a
proud tradition of music and the performing arts and is home to Sir
Paul McCartney?s Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts.
Liverpool Hope University, the host of the 2013 conference, has two
beautiful campuses in the city ? Hope Park Campus, with its
architecture and landscaped grounds which date from the mid-nineteenth
century, and the Creative Campus with its ultra-modern multi-award
winning design in the heart of the city. Hope Park Campus, which will
be the base for the EASR/IAHR Conference, is the home of Arts &
Humanities within the University, including the Department of
Theology, Philosophy & Religious Studies, where staff include Prof.
Ron Geaves (Islam), Prof. Daniel Jeyaraj (Christianity and Hinduism in
India), Prof. Bernard Jackson (Judaism and Jewish Law), Associate
Prof. Elizabeth Harris (Buddhism) and our Head of Department,
Associate Prof. Peter McGrail (African Traditions & Christianity).
We look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool Hope University, and the
city of Liverpool, for what will be a stimulating and enjoyable
conference for all BASR/EASR/IAHR friends and colleagues.
