CFP – Session on Sacred Spaces for AHA 2011
We are organizing a session on “Constructing Sacred Spaces in Pre-Modern Europe” for the American Historical Association meeting in Boston, January 6-9, 2011. The conference theme is "History, Society, and the Sacred." We invite abstracts for inclusion on the panel. Topics can include, but are not limited to:
- contested saint’s cults and rites
- once-popular pilgrimage sites
- “decommissioned” churches, cemeteries, and holy places
- Sacred spaces used for non-pious rituals and activities
- Secular places used for sacred rites
If interested in participating, please submit an abstract and basic contact information by February 6, 2010 to Janine.Peterson(AT)marist.edu and hgrieco(AT)siena.edu.
