CALL FOR PAPERS<\/span><\/h3>\n
The International Advisory Board is pleased to announce the Call For Papers for the Fifth International Conference on Religion and Spirituality in Society. The Religion Conference will be held 16-17 April 2015 at the University of California at Berkeley in Berkeley, USA.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Special Conference Focus:<\/span><\/h4>\n
Social Movements and Faith<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Religious commitments are, as often as not, social commitments. In addition to its usual range of themes, this year\u2019s special focus of the Religion and Society knowledge community is the relation of religion to social movements, ranging from movements for nominally \u201cprogressive\u201d or \u201cliberal\u201d social change, to \u201cfundamentalisms\u201d whose religious practices are often explicitly or implicitly social and political. The conference will ask the questions: under what conditions and to what extent are religious communities socially activist, either in their doctrine or their practices? How do religious communities, support or align with other social movements?<\/span><\/div>\n
The 2015 meeting will feature a special focus on this provocative subject. We welcome open debate, discourse and research from participants that center on this special topic, as well as any other themes or issues relevant to religion and spirituality in society.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

CONFERENCE THEMES<\/span><\/h3>\n
The Conference will address a range of critically important issues and themes relating to the Religion in Society community. Plenary speakers include some of the leading thinkers in these areas, as well as numerous paper, colloquium and workshop presentations.<\/span><\/div>\n
We are inviting proposals for paper presentations, workshops\/interactive sessions, posters\/exhibits, or colloquia (See\u00a0Proposal Types<\/a>) addressing religion and spirituality in society through one of the following themes:<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
Religious Foundations<\/span><\/td>\nReligious Community and Socialization<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Religious Commonalities and Differences<\/span><\/td>\nThe Politics of Religion<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Proposal ideas that extend beyond these thematic areas will also be considered. For more information about the ideas and themes underlying this community, see\u00a0Our Focus<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
We also offer participation options for those individuals who cannot attend the conference. Authors who wish to submit an article for potential publication in the Religion in Society Journal may submit a\u00a0Proposal for Article Submission<\/a>, while all members of the knowledge community with an accepted proposal may submit an\u00a0online presentation<\/a>\u00a0to the knowledge community YouTube channel.<\/span><\/div>\n
DEADLINE: June 5, 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
