Dear colleagues,
During the 2008 ESHCC in Lisbon the Religion network took a thrilling new start,
with no less than 13 sessions organized within the network, several of which in
co-operation with other networks, involving more than 60 scholars from around the world.
They engaged in particularly lively discussions, and many papers are in the process of being published.
We want to pursue in that direction, creating crossovers and exchanges that cut
trough traditional divisions between disciplines, denominations, periods and regions
Hence we call upon you to formulate proposals for the ESSHC 2010 for sessions, papers or themes that can deal
with any historical era and any religious expression or denomination, inviting others to join.
Please, do not hesitate to formulate bold proposals, and do not hold back from suggesting 'incomplete' sessions of
only two presentations. We will help you to find suitable participants.
Just to help you to formulate your thoughts but without any intention of limitation
we would particularly welcome paper and session proposals on:
Apart from discussion sessions we intend to organize some sessions in a different format,
around recently published major publications ('meet the author') or topical questions,
e.g. on the 'religious' perspectives of Europe and its boundaries. Suggestions are most welcome.
For more information on the ESSHC see http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/.
The final deadline for paper and session proposals is 1 May 2009,
but please send your proposals first to the network chairs Silvia Evangelisti (s.evangelisti@uea.ac.uk)
and Patrick Pasture (Patrick.Pasture@arts.kuleuven.be), preferably by February 28, 2009.
We both will also be most happy to respond to any of your queries.
Best regards,
Patrick Pasture and Sylvia Evangelisti, ESSHC Network Chairs Religion
