3. Critical Theory and Islamic Studies
Graduate Student Symposium

29 & 30 April 2011, McGill Institute of Islamic Studies, Canada
McGill University's Institute of Islamic Studies Student Council (MIISSC) invites abstracts for scholarly papers to be presented at a graduate symposium. The conference will engage with the intersection of critical theory and Islamic Studies. We define critical
theory very broadly as problematizing normative approaches to the study of Islam in its multiple social, political, literary, religious, and historical dimensions. By Islamic Studies, we refer to the interdisciplinary study of Islamic thought, culture, and society in western academia. The goal of the symposium is to allow graduate students and junior scholars to present original unpublished research.

DEADLINE : Please submit a formal abstract (350-500 words) by January 7, 2011 date by email to iisscsy...@gmail.com . Participants will be notified of their acceptance by February 7, 2011.

4. Buddhism and National Socialism

Workshop at Freie Universitaet

December 1st 3rd, 2011, Berlin, Germany
Among the numerous academic studies of Nazism only a few focus on the topic of "Buddhism and National Socialism." There is a lack of research concerning the knowledge and interpretations of Buddhism available between 1933 and 1945 and their distribution. Moreover, narratives and reflections of contemporary witnesses are often ambiguous and contradictory. It is difficult to draw conclusions about the life of Buddhists under the Nazi regime: It seems that at times they were marginally persecuted, and sometimes not at all.

The workshop "Buddhism and National Socialism" aims to explore, to question, and to classify the existing sources in order to foster further research.

We are inviting submissions of papers on the following issues:

1. Buddhist biographies and the history of Buddhist associations during the period of National Socialism in Germany.

2. Buddhist publications (books, journals etc.) and correspondences between 1933 and 1945.

3. Buddhism in popular papers, journey reports, class books and films.

4. Buddhism in Indology and other academic fields of investigation, trade publications etc.
5. Images of Buddhism in National Socialist literature and public statements of the regime (including relevant legal texts).

6. Recent interpretations of Buddhism, which claim an affinity of Buddhism to National Socialist ideas and the transfer of this
argumentation to current critiques of Buddhism and, particularly, the Dalai Lama.

Junior researchers are especially encouraged to apply. The workshop offers a platform to present and discuss research projects and to inspire interdisciplinary collaborations. In addition to the detailed discussion of the lectures, in‐depth discussions of selected topics in study groups are planned in order to assure an intense and efficient exchange of views.

We invite articles from different fields such as cultural and religious studies, philology and study of literature, history and social science.

Please send the title of your paper and an abstract (max. 500 words) as well as a short Curriculum Vitae (1 page max) by January 1st 2011 to: buddh...@geschkult.fu‐berlin.de

The deadline for submission of full papers is November 1st , 2011.
Accepted papers will be distributed to the participants of the workshop.
Further nformation and the complete program of the workshop will be sent out at a later date. Publication of selected articles is intended.

The conference languages will be English and German. Participants may therefore choose to make presentations in either of the two languages, however, there will be no interpretation service.

We look forward to interesting discussions!

Deadline for submissions is April 30, 2011
