CALL FOR PAPERS! MAASA 2009 Spring Conference
Call for Papers!
Theme: FAITH, POLITICS, CULTURE: AMERICAN MIXTURES…
These words are simple enough: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Yet, Alexis de Tocqueville noted, “The religious atmosphere of the country was the first thing that struck me upon arrival in the United States.” Between the twin poles established by these two famous statements lies abundant room for discussion and exploration. Bearing in mind the fateful interstices between religion, politics, and culture, and seeking to explore the ways in which these modes of belief, expression, and behavior intermingle in American contexts, the MAASA announces its joint meeting with the Pennsylvania Political Science Association (PPSA). The conference will be held at Elizabethtown College (Elizabethtown, PA) from March 27-28, 2009. The American Studies portion of the conference invites prospective participants to submit proposals for papers or panels which address the themes of religion and politics in American culture. Deadline for abstracts is January 15, 2009. Please send a one-page abstract and one-page CV to John R. Haddad either electronically (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) or by mail:
