CONF: 2009 meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Religion

Annual Meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Religion (NAASR), Montréal, Canada, 7-10 November 2009

As usual, NAASR will meet concurrently with the American Academy of Religion (AAR). In addition to the four panels on political theology scheduled to take place at the AAR meeting proper (see blog entry of 15 May), a session on political theology has also been announced for the NAASR meeting.

Under the title "Disenchantment and Reenchantment in Political Theology: Diagnosing the Crisis of Liberalism", it is to take place on 6 November, 4-6.30 pm (exact location yet to be determined). The respondent will be John Milbank (University of Nottingham).

Of interest may also be a session titled "Postcoloniality, Secular Critique, and Democratic Futures", at least one speaker and the chair of which are known to be associated with the discourse on political theology (scheduled for 7 November, 9-11.30 am).
