***PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY***
The Animals & Religion Consultation of the American Academy of Religion invites submissions for the AAR Annual Meeting (Nov. 7-10, 2009 in Montréal). Scholars from any discipline are encouraged to submit proposals.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MONDAY MARCH 2
We invite papers and panels considering animals as liminal figures; "real" animals and "symbolic" animals; healing and animals; globalization and differences in categorization of animals; food, vegetarianism, and incorporation of animals and religion by the Humane Society of the United States, particularly the impact of food choices on global warming and its connection to animals; intersections between critical theory, continental philosophy, religion, and animal studies; animals, place, and space in the religious imagination; indigenous traditions and animals; animals in the religious imagination, particularly in literature; and problematic aspects of the domesticated and wild animal categories.
We especially encourage paper and/or panel proposals that address the ways in which studying animals and religion can help us rethink our approaches to the study of religion more broadly.
Paper and/or panel proposals should include a 1,000 word proposal and 150-word abstract. (Your name and contact information is sent automatically with the proposal so you do not have to submit a separate participant form.) Proposals must be submitted via the AAR's online OP3 system at http://www.aarweb.org/Meetings/Annual_Meeting/Current_Meeting/OP3/default.asp .
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MONDAY MARCH 2
If you have any questions, please contact one of the AAR Animals & Religion Consultation co-chairs, Aaron Gross or Dave Aftandilian, at aarongross@umail.ucsb.edu or d.aftandilian@tcu.edu .
