The Science, Religion, and\u00a0Culture Program at Harvard Divinity School (SRCP) announces the second annual graduate student conference on religion. In our\u00a0inaugural conference, held in\u00a0October 2012, eighty\u00a0students and early career scholars representing twenty-five different graduate programs from across the United States and the world gathered to present their research. Following the success of last year\u2019s conference, this multi-day event will be comprised of thematic panels that cross religious traditions, academic disciplines, and intellectual and theological\u00a0commitments. The conference aims at promoting interdisciplinary discussion of prevailing assumptions (both within and outside the academy) about the differentiation, organization, authorization, and reproduction of various modes\u00a0of knowing and acting in\u00a0relation to religion.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We invite paper proposals representative of a variety of theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary approaches and that explore religious practices especially in\u00a0relation to identities, authorities, discourses, texts, and experiences. We welcome projects that utilize all sorts of theoretical tools, including discourse analysis, gender theory, race theory, disability theory, postcolonial theory, performance theory, and ritual theory. Papers may focus on a specific period, region, tradition, person or group, and\/or on a set of practices, texts, doctrines, or beliefs. Projects that are primarily sociological, anthropological, theological, ethical, textual, historical, or philosophical are welcome, as are projects indebted to multiple disciplines.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Possible approaches include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) an exploration of a specific way of\u00a0knowing, being, and engaging the world or particular discursive framework in relation to religion; 2) an historical, sociological, and\/or anthropological analysis of the cultural processes that support a specific religious discourse or practice, its authoritative structures, and\/or its strategies of inclusion and exclusion; 3) an analysis of gender, sexuality, race,\u00a0and\/or socioeconomic class with respect\u00a0to religious texts,\u00a0practices, or performances; 4) a\u00a0comparative examination of\u00a0religious texts and\/or their\u00a0interpretations, with attention to the\u00a0historical, sociopolitical, cultural,and\/or intellectual contexts that mediate and delimit different interpretative strategies and practices;\u00a05) an\u00a0analysis of the interplay between religion and scientific, moral, and\/or legal discourses, practices, and authorities; 6) a theological construction or analysis of a particular normative framework, which critically and\/or comparatively\u00a0engages one or\u00a0more religious traditions.<\/p>\n
