-----Original Message----- From: Sociology of Religion [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gordon Lynch Sent: 26 November 2008 16:17 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: AHRC research network - PG presentations Dear All We are just starting a two-year AHRC-funded research network on 'Religion, the sacred and changing cultures of everyday life', which will bring together leading researchers from Europe and the USA in the area of religion, media and popular culture for a series of five 24-hour seminars. At each seminar, spaces have been reserved for up to three PhD students to present working papers about their research. This will provide an excellent opportunity for PG researchers to engage with some leading scholars and receive feedback on their work. Student participants will have their over-night residential costs met and will not pay any registration fee, though they would have to pay for their own travel expenses (or claim these back from their home institution). PhD students wishing to present at these events should email me, indicating which seminar they would prefer to present at and giving a short (up to 150 word) summary of the focus of their PhD project, including how far they are into their research work. Priority will be given to students whose work is of demonstrable relevance to the particular theme of each seminar. The dates, themes and key-notes for these events are: Religion, spirituality and consumer culture: 2/3 March 2009, London Jeremy Carrette, Paul Heelas, Vincent Miller, Marion Bowman, Heather Hendershot. Media and the transformation of contemporary religion: 29/30 June 2009, Manchester Stewart Hoover, Birgit Meyer, Diane Winston, Marie Gillespie, David Herbert Cultural consumption and the performance of everyday religious life: 7/8 Sept 2009, Oxford Pete Ward, Robert Orsi, Lynn Schofield Clark, Lee Gilmore, Nabil Echaibi The sacred senses: visual culture, material culture, audio culture and religion: 8/9 March 2010, London David Morgan, Stephen Pattison, Chris Partridge, Colleen McDannell, Stef Aupers Religion and the ethics of media and culture: 8/9 July 2010, Oxford Elaine Graham, Jolyon Mitchell, Tom Beaudoin, Nick Couldry, Tim Jensen Please do pass this on to any PhD students you know who may be interested in this.
