The 7th International Conference on Media, Religion and Culture will be held in Toronto from August 9 – 13, 2010, hosted by Joyce Smith of the School of Journalism at Ryerson University. The conference follows successful and stimulating meetings in Brazil, Sweden, the United States and Scotland. Our 2010 meeting will be as open to scholars as Toronto is to the world: a diversity of scholarly approaches to the study of a variety of media, of cultures and of religions. Call for papers: Hosted in one of the world's most diverse cities, the 7th International Conference on Media, Religion and Culture invites papers and panels addressing a wide range of content and methodological approaches. Past meetings have brought to the fore research into both very old and very new mediums of communication, with traditions ranging from ancient indigenous practice to the most recent cyber-ritual, from settings in the global north and south. Scholars as well as practitioners and professionals in the fields of media, religion and culture may submit abstracts for consideration. Graduate students are always very welcome. Topics may include (but are not limited to): * Issues specific to Canadian media, religions and cultures * The place of journalism at the nexus of media, religion and culture * Investigations of media and culture associated with non-Christian traditions * Studies involving hyperlocal examples of media/religion and culture * Ways in which media, religion and culture can be taught within university curriculum * Gender and our understanding of media, religion and culture Abstracts must include the title, the participant name(s) and institutional affiliation, contact information and a description of the proposal, up to 500 words in length. An online submission form will be found on this page before the due date. Note: English is the working language for this conference.
