Call for Papers Theme: Religion Race and Contested Globalisation Type: Transatlantic Roundtable on Religion and Race Institution: Howard University Location: Washington, DC (USA) Date: 28.–30.6.2017 Deadline: 15.3.2017 __________________________________________________ As western and westernizing nations have experienced increased socio-cultural diversification, intersectionality, and competition (within and across borders), this has been accompanied by an intensification of domestic and international conflict. This has manifested recently in widespread mobilizations against immigrants and religious minorities, including in 2016 electoral backlashes in the U.S. and UK, and similar mobilizations in France, Austria, and Italy. Against this backdrop, and mindful of increased vulnerability in-general by people of color within these intersections and collisions, the 2017 Transatlantic Roundtable on Religion and Race will be convened in Washington, DC to focus on “Religion, Race, and Contested Globalization.” Please submit 150-250 word abstracts on the above theme or related subjects by March 15, 2017 to Dr. R. Drew Smith, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary ([email protected] or) Dr. William Ackah, Birkbeck, Univ. of London ([email protected]).
