We especially welcome paper and panel proposals from members who live in communities.
Proposals for papers and sessions should include your presentation title, a 150-word maximum abstract, and a brief 100-word biographical statement for each paper or presentation, and contact information. Please send these by May 1, 2008 to:

The Communal Studies Association (CSA) is an interdisciplinary organization for people living in intentional communities, historic site personnel, and academics and researchers in anthropology, history, religious studies, political science, sociology, and other disciplines who study these communities. Each year the CSA's annual conference is held at the site of an historic intentional community. For more information about the organization, see our website: www.communalstudies.org/
