Open Call for Papers
Science and the Occult in the Near and Middle East March 14-15, 2013

The Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations Graduate Students Association of
the University of Toronto invites proposals for the 17th Annual Graduate
Symposium to be held on March 14-15, 2013. Since 1997, the NMCGSA Symposium
has provided the opportunity for promising graduate students to share their
original research with the broader scholarly community in a conference-like
forum, and to publish their presentations as proceedings. By annually
bringing together specialists in archaeology, history, anthropology,
comparative literature, religion, art, philosophy, and political science,
the symposium provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary discourse
focused on the study of the Near and Middle East. The 2013 symposium aims to
highlight this diversity in order to foster communication and exchange
across disciplinary boundaries. While we encourage submissions that are
related to the topics of science and the occult, we are nevertheless open to
any variety of topics that pertain to the realm of Near and Middle Eastern
Studies.
Submitting a Paper: Presenters are asked to submit an abstract of 250 words
by e-mail attachment no later than January 13, 2013. Submissions should also
include the following information in the body of the
email: presenters name, program (M.A, Ph.D.), year of study, research focus,
university and department, complete address, telephone number, email
address, title of paper, and audio-visual requirements. We highly encourage
the submission of panel proposals as it will increase the chances of
acceptance.
Presentations must not exceed 20 minutes. The abstracts will be reviewed by
committee and presenters will be informed of their acceptance no later than
January 27, 2013. For purposes of anonymous adjudication, please do NOT
include your name or other identification on the abstract attachment.
If your paper is being submitted as part of a proposed panel or considered
under a specific theme, please include the panel title or the proposed theme
under the title of the paper on the abstract.
