Call for Papers for the APT Meeting at AAR in San Francisco in November, 2011.
We invite proposals for papers or panels examining whether and how practical theology can be taught and learned in online environments, whether in the academy, church, wider publics, or everyday life. We invite particular attention to performance, embodiment, practices, social class, access, and relationality when practical theology goes online.
The Association of Practical Theology values diversity in scholarship as an important factor contributing to academic excellence. Toward that end, if there are ways in which your work diversifies scholarship in practical theology of
which you would like to make the executive committee aware, please include a statement of no more than 100 words describing the diversities informing your scholarship.
Proposals should be up to and no more than 750 words. Proposals should be electronic and should be submitted as double-spaced Word documents. Proposals should not include information that would identify the author. Please include a separate document that provides identifying information about the author (i.e. name, institution, etc.). Proposals will be selected by a blind peer review process. Please submit proposals to gordon.mikoski@ptsem.edu.
Deadline for submission of proposals is April 15, 2011.
