Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce that we are ready to call for papers for the 7th Israeli Conference for the Study of Contemporary Religion and
Spirituality, organized by the Program in Religious
Studies at Tel Aviv University, which will take place during 3-4 May 2015.
This conference will continue the tradition which was formed at the
University of Haifa during 2009-2012, and last two years at Tel Aviv University. This event can be a good opportunity
for researchers working outside of Israel to learn more about the
country's bustling New-Age 'scene' and about development in the research
on contemporary spirituality in Israel.
The
forthcoming conference will mark 50 years to the passing of Martin Buber, and will focus on
attitudes towards Hasidism, Neo-Hasidism and the concept of Nature in
Contemporary Religion and Spirituality. This theme should not limit proposals in any
other research topics relevant to the study of Contemporary Religion and Spirituality.
Our guests of honor and keynote speakers will be Prof. Shaul Magid (Indiana University, USA) and Dr. Graham Harvey (Open University, UK). You can read the conference's CFP here, and paper/symposium proposal forms can be found here.
Please feel free to circulate our CFP in your private
e-mail lists. We will of course be very happy to receive your own
proposals by November 30 2014, addressed to Mr. Shai feraro (Conference
Coordinator), spirituality.tel.aviv@gmail.com
Kind Regards,
Conference Chairpersons
Prof. Ron Margolin (Tel Aviv University)
Dr. Tomer Persico (Tel Aviv University)
Conference Coordinator
Mr. Shai Feraro (Tel Aviv University)
