Spiritual Division Call for Papers 2011
This year’s convention theme, “Voice,” is especially cogent for scholars of spiritual communication. Mystics, prophets and seers of various religious traditions have given voice to their own transcendent encounters. Persons of prayer have voiced thoughts and feelings rising up from the depths of their being. Voice has been extended by various technologies and the arts so that writing, music, architecture, dance and many other expressions communicate spiritual meaning. In many cases various faith communities and individuals on the edges of such communities have experienced spiritually evocative voice coming from constituents of the natural world as well as marginalized humans.
The Spiritual Communication Division invites submission of individual papers, paper sessions, panel discussions that address the convention theme, “Voice,” and are consistent with the Division’s principles. We are committed to understanding spiritual communication through myriad experiences, practices, and belief systems. Our framework for spirituality is based upon the following principles: (a) spirituality represents a harmonious interconnectedness amongst self, other, and nature, and (b) spirituality is both embodied and transcendent, exemplifying an inner knowing (i.e., a source of inner strength), the potentiality of higher consciousness, and living in creative harmony with the divine. The Division will consider submissions that address spirituality within any religious / spiritual tradition and that employs any methodological approach or theoretical perspectives. We especially encourage work that is grounded in and advances the current state of theory and practice in spirituality and communication.
Submission Requirements:
Individual papers: 1) title of the paper; 2) name and contact information; 3) a 75 word abstract of the paper; 4) the paper itself to upload into the system.
Paper sessions: 1) title of the session; 2) name and contact information of each session participant; 3) a 75 word description of the session; 4) a session rationale; 5) a title and 50 word abstract of each panelist’s paper presentation.
Panel Discussions: 1) title of the panel; 2) name and contact information of each panel participant; 3) a 75 word panel description; 4) a panel rationale; 5) any supporting documents to be uploaded into the system
Please note that all audiovisual equipment must be made at the time of submission. No late requests can be accommodated.
