Call for Proposals

This Group invites proposals in the following areas:

• Public health initiatives and activities that are religiously-based and/or exhibit religious practices
• The work of and challenges faced or created by religiously-affiliated actors with immigrants, refugees, and/or displaced peoples
• Research on the relationships between religious scriptures or texts with development-related issues

Research treating aspects of our Group’s area not included in these suggestions will be considered. We are particularly interested in proposals that involve field research and current projects.

Mission

Religion, spirituality, and faith are themes gaining interest and prominence in the field of international development studies. This Group addresses the topical intersection of religious studies and international development studies. The primary objective is to establish the focus of an ongoing discussion that engages the relevant areas of the religion academy. A second related objective is to bring scholars from “outside” the AAR into this discussion, meaning scholars who are internationally-based or who are from other disciplines.

Anonymity of Review Process

Proposer names are visible to Chairs but anonymous to steering committee members.
