"The Architecture of Community" -- conference of the Communal Studies Association in New Harmony, Indiana, September 30-October 2, 2010.
Architecture, in the fullest sense of the word, will be the theme of this conference, including not only the physical structures used by communitarians, but also the social, religious, and political organization of their communities. Held at the southern Indiana site of two prominent intentional communities, one founded by the German Pietist Harmony Society and the other by the social reformer Robert Owen, the site of the conference will give attendees examples of various types of architecture. Tours of the New Harmony site will be included in the program. Papers, panel discussions, and audio-visual presentations are solicited, both on the theme and on other aspects of communal groups, intentional communities, and utopias.
Deadline for Submission of Paper & Session Proposals: May 1, 2010
Send your presentation title, a 150-word maximum abstract, and a brief (100 word) biography and contact information to:
