Call for Papers: Politics of Religion
Fast approaching (Dec. 1) is the deadline for the 12th annual FSU Graduate Student Symposium. Below is the call for papers. I encourage all graduate students in religious studies and related disciplines to submit. It's a great conference (and I ain't just saying that because I organized 2011's).
