The Global Christianities Workshop invites paper proposals for the 2015-2016 academic year. Presentations can include portions of dissertation chapters or proposals, job talks, book reviews, pedagogical reflections, master’s theses, articles, conference papers, or other research.

The workshop aims to call attention to the diverse manifestations of Christianity around the globe, both past and present. United by its object of study, the workshop seeks papers with diverse methodologies and approaches to the study of religion: anthropological, comparative, ethical, historical, literary, philosophical, political, psychological, sociological, theological, and so on. The workshop has been designated as a Study Group by the Council on Advanced Studies, which means that it is less formal than other workshops. Graduate students and faculty members are invited to bring work in progress, so that they can benefit as much as possible from the group discussion. We will also be reading and discussing key articles related to the study of Global Christianities.
