> The Conference on the Study of Religions of India (CSRI) invites proposals
> for its upcoming Annual Meeting to be held at Drew University in Madison,
> New Jersey from June 27 to June 30, 2013. The conference theme is "Not
> Quite Divine: Co-stars and Supporting Casts in South Asian Religions."
> Possible topics related to this theme include investigations of a range of
> demi-deities, saints, spirits, ghosts, and demons. Papers may analyze near
> divine entities as described, invoked, and/or experienced in oral and
> textual narrative; artistic, musical, and theatrical expression; and
> ritual, mystical, and possession practice. Participants might also examine
> debates regarding the divine natures of saintly humans or the processes of
> apotheosis involving -- but not limited to -- human heroes, movie stars,
> and topographical features. Conference organizers (Corinne Dempsey, Reid
> Locklin, Karen Pechilis, and Brian Pennington) welcome individual paper
> proposals of no longer than 250 words, to be submitted to the program
> coordinator, Corinne Dempsey ( cdempse6@naz.edu ), no later than March 1,
> 2013.
>
> The Conference on the Study of Religions of India (CSRI) is a forum of
> exchange for scholars engaged in the academic study of the religious
> traditions of India in both native and diasporic contexts. It provides
> scholars a leisurely, collegial environment in which to present their
> work. Emphasis will be placed on informality among peers. Committed to
> critical and creative inquiry, the conference is not an advocacy forum for
> the religions of India and does not endorse or proscribe a particular
> point of view. Only scholars with terminal degrees in religious studies or
> related academic disciplines (like Anthropology, Art, Ethnomusicology,
> History, Philosophy, Theology, Women Studies) researching and/or teaching
> in the area of religions of India are eligible to present, attend, and
> participate in the conference. Graduate students in advanced standing in
> any of these disciplines are also welcome to participate in the
> conference.
