In June and July 2006 joint conferences will be held in Dublin and Canberra on the theme of religion and imperialism. We invite papers which address this major theme in world history from colony to metropole. Catherine Hall and Anne O'Brien will keynote the Dublin conference which will be held from 20-21 June 2006. This conference calls for papers which consider the many ways in which religion served, thwarted, transformed, mitigated and reinforced the bonds of empire in the colonised world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We hope to attract speakers who will consider local colonial and metropolitan religious communities and bring together researchers addressing similar issues in different parts of the imagined British Empire.
Themes to be considered include:
Comparative and/or case studies of colonial religious cultures
Religious discourses of support and challenge to the imperial ideal
Roman and other religious empires from Dublin to Durban
Women as agents of imperial religious networks
Metropolitan and colonial religious communities
