Call for Papers for One-Day 'Launch' Conference

Conference theme: 'Non-Religion and Secularity: New Empirical
Perspectives'
NSRN was set up in late 2008 as an international and interdisciplinary
network of researchers interested in the burgeoning fields of
non-religion, secularity, and atheism. After a very encouraging first
year, its conveners are delighted to announce this one-day conference,
exhibiting much of the new and exciting empirical research now being
undertaken in these areas. Confirmed keynote speakers include Prof. Colin
Campbell (York, UK), Prof. David Voas (Manchester, UK) and Prof. Ryan T.
Cragun (Tampa, US).
Abstracts (c. 200 words) for 20-minute short papers are invited from
researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of sociology,
psychology, history, anthropology, religious studies, political science,
international relations, cultural studies and related disciplines. Please
send these, by FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER, to [log in to unmask] (informal
enquiries should also be directed to the same address). Applicants will be
informed of the decision around 16 October. All abstracts, whether
successful or not, will also be considered for inclusion in a planned
post-conference publication.
Further details about the conference (including booking information) will
be circulated towards the end of October. Information about the NSRN is
