The World’s Religions section invites papers which probe the conference theme of “translation” in all of its dimensions, e.g., textual, intercultural, interreligious, etc.  Papers will be considered that are written from a host of academic perspectives (theological, anthropological, literary studies, religious studies, etc.) and that treat religious traditions discretely or comparatively/interreligiously. As always, this section invites papers that consider the implications of the conference theme for college teaching. Proposals outside of the conference theme are welcome but will receive secondary consideration.

Proposals should be between 250-500 words in length, should articulate the paper’s topic or thesis clearly, and should include a very brief introduction to the author (e.g., institutional affiliation, position, education).
