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.
