Call for Papers
Innovative Methods in the Study of
Religion
29-30th March 2010,
London
Jointly
sponsored by:
AHRC/ESRC
Religion and Society Programme
NORFACE:
Re-emergence of Religion as a Social Force in
Europe?
The study of
religion lends itself to methodological innovation.
Religion is a complex
phenomenon with various social locations and faces. Its
forms are constantly
changing, as has become very evident in recent
decades. Growing interest
in religion and a growing appreciation of its many
dimensions - including
the material and spatial, emotional and bodily, mediated
and virtual,
transnational and political - call for fresh
reflection on methods.
This conference offers a unique opportunity for such
reflection and exchange,
and an edited volume will result from it.
Topics of
interest include, but
are not limited to, the following:
-Visual and spatial methods
-Participatory/action
research
-Combining methods: mixes and
rationales
-Research with new media
-Sensitive research
-Innovation in survey design, and
use of survey data, on
religion
-New approaches to quantitative
analysis - regression
analysis and beyond
-Comparative
case studies - small n-analysis
-Integrating
historical research
Individual
paper proposals (max. 200 words) or proposals for panels of
three or four
related papers (max. 300 words) should be submitted to:
