Latina/o Critical and Comparative Studies |
Call for ProposalsThis Group is an attempt to occupy the AAR with transgressive and decolonizing scholarship, ideas, and people. With this in mind, we invite submissions on the following topics:
MissionThis Group, founded in 2009, fosters interdisciplinary and theoretically innovative analyses of Latina/o religiosities and spiritualities in the Americas. Our goal is to advance knowledge and ways of knowing that expand traditional areas of religious studies with respect to Latina/o communities, mindful of transnational and global realities. Thus, we encourage studies that explore non-Western beliefs and practices, including the indigenous, the African-diasporic, Buddhist, and Islam, as well as those that advance more complex understanding of culturally hybrid Christianities. We wish to foster dialogue that is respectful of the culturally different theological understandings of the sacred within different traditional or emerging spiritualities. We encourage feminist- and queer-centered perspectives as well as thought rooted in community experience.
