Call for Proposals

This Group is seeking individual paper or panel proposals on the following topics:

• The marginalization of traumatic and genocidal histories in the academy — for example, the marginalization of genocide histories within the larger rubric of European History or similar patterns that occur within the categories of United States history and African-American history. This is for a cosponsored session with the Lesbian-Feminist Issues and Religion Group, Native Traditions in the Americas Group, and/or Womanist Approaches to Religion and Society Group
• Diverse subjectivities, social locations, and institutional contexts that impact Holocaust and genocide pedagogy
• Ricoeur, the Holocaust, and genocide — for a cosponsored session with the Ricoeur Group

Proposals on other topics are also welcome.

Mission

This Group provides an academic forum to integrate the analysis of the Holocaust with past and ongoing problems of genocide around the globe. It asks critical questions about the implications of these legacies for the study of religion, building on Jewish and Christian theological, literary, and philosophical responses to the Holocaust.

Anonymity of Review Process

Proposals are anonymous to Chairs and steering committee members during review, but visible to Chairs prior to final acceptance or rejection.
