*American Academy of Religion*
*2011 Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA November 18-21*

*Call for Papers, Cognitive Science of Religion Consultation*

The co-chairs of the AAR Cognitive Science of Religion consultation strongly
urge IASCR members to consider submitting proposals, either as AAR-IASCR
joint sessions or AAR sessions (we have been given a large allocation this
year, and can now sponsor two solo sessions and one co-sponsored session.

Full call available at:
http://rsnonline.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=450&Itemid=529

This Consultation welcomes proposals for papers or sessions on any aspect
of the cognitive science of religion, although we would like at least one
of our regular sessions to appeal to a broad audience. We would also like
sessions that report on research that tests extant theories in the
cognitive science of religion — scheduled either as a regular session or
in our Research Forums, publicized to our e-mail list, and possibly
cosponsored with The International Association for the Cognitive Science
of Religion <http://www.iacsr.com/Home.html>. Papers are also invited on
the following topics:

   - Applying methods from cognitive science to historical materials
   - Cognitive linguistics and religious thought (for a possible
cosponsored session with the Society for Biblical Literature
<http://www.sbl-site.org/>
   - Music and bodily movement (for a possible cosponsored session with
the Tantric Studies Group
<http://rsnonline.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=430&Itemid=508>
   - Game-theoretic models of religion

The Consultation’s blog <http://csr-aar.blogspot.com/> describes how
proposals are evaluated and can be used as a forum for coordinating
organized sessions or Research Forums.

Mission

This Consultation is dedicated to advancing cognitive scientific
approaches to the study of religion in a critically informed, historically
responsible manner. “Cognitive science” designates a broadly
interdisciplinary approach to the study of the mind that integrates
research from the neurosciences, psychology (including developmental,
cognitive, evolutionary, and social psychology), anthropology, and
philosophy. Our main goal is to bring together cognitive scientists,
historians of religion, ethnographers, empirically-oriented theologians,
and philosophers of religion to explore applications of cognitive science
to religious phenomena, as well as religious insights into the study of
the human mind. We wish to consider the ways in which historical and
ethnographic data can be used to test theories and discuss theoretical and
methodological concerns that are directly relevant to study design and
data interpretation.
