CONF./CFP- American Academy of Religion, Section for Study of Islam

Call for Papers

2002 Meeting of the American Academy of Religion
Section for the Study of Islam

The section invites papers or prearranged panels that reflect theoretical
and methodological sophistication as well as innovative examination of
Islamic societies and texts. For pre-arranged panels and paper sessions,
respondents are essential; innovative, interactive formats, and multimedia
presentations are welcome. The section encourages proposals in all areas of
Islamic studies, but this year we are especially interested in papers or
panels on the following: Islam in African societies; sex and sexuality;
Islamic philosophy and theology; teaching after 9/11; Sufism; human rights
and civil society; Qur'an and interpretation; interpretive traditions of
South Asia; religion and psychology. Since this meeting will be held in
Toronto and during Ramadan, we also welcome proposals on fasting and on
Canadian contributions to the study of religion.

This year, all proposals must be made on-line; no paper proposals will be
accepted.  For submission forms and more information on the annual meeting,
