We are delighted to receive papers from students. We try to approach all papers as in-process and encourage their further development. Abstracts are enough.

Is there anything else that you'd like readers to know?

Q

Papers presented in our unit have included social ethics; gender studies; power dynamics; speculative fiction; sociology, anthropology and psychology of religion; analyses of congregational and religious life; and historical studies that don't find a place elsewhere. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcome. We are hoping to see some work on AI impacts in the future. If you have a paper or panel idea and don't know where it belongs then we probably have a place for it. Furthermore, We in the section like to see ourselves as a community of scholars. We try to build long-term research and personal relationships and welcome new participants.
