Roger Williams University is named after the founder of the colony of 
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, the first established with
guarantees of separation of church and state. We seek papers for our
second biennial conference on religion and the state, to be held at the 
university April 24-26, 2009. Our theme this year is "Religion and the 
State in Islam and the West, a theme intended to include points of 
contact, cooperation, and conflict between Western and Islamic cultures 
as well as scholarship that addresses religion/state matters in either 
of these cultural areas individually. Researchers are invited to submit 
from any academic field, especially, though not exclusively, from 
history, political science, literature and religious studies. Paper 
proposals can cover all time periods, ancient through contemporary, and 
can reflect all geographic areas.

Please send a 250-word proposal and a one-page CV to:
Joshua Stein
Department of History
Roger Williams University
Bristol, RI 02809
USA

or electronically to jstein at rwu.edu by January 5, 2009.

Responses will be mailed out by January 26, 2009.
