We invite papers from graduate students from all areas of the humanities, social sciences and fine arts that will inspire, challenge, and stretch personal assumptions, academic categories, and pedagogical approaches, including but not limited to historicity, ethics, doctrine, art, psychology, case studies, social practices and values, etc. This conference provides an excellent opportunity to share and publicize research as well as to meet other like-minded up-and-coming academics and researchers.
This year’s theme focuses broadly on how identities, boundaries and traditions within cultures change and shift; the transition between the old and the new, and how customs, ethos, social norms and philosophies are defined throughout history, asking how these concepts are found in religions, societies and civilizations. This theme invites and encourages discussion on history, ethics, philosophy, art, anthropology, politics, sociology, case studies, doctrine and practices and how traditions and transitions present across time and places, and how they impact individuals and communities. We invite submissions that offer a critical, in-depth analysis of the issues or questions that challenge cultural, religious, historical and societal ideals.
Please note: AGIC is putting together a Special Interest Section, Order and Chaos: The More Things Change… Please see attached call for more details.
Presentations in either French or English are encouraged. Abstracts must include a publication-ready, titled abstract of 200-300 words. The name, e-mail address, university affiliation and level of study of the presenter(s) must also be included, along with any special needs. Proposals are to be submitted no later than December 5th, 2012. All received submissions will be acknowledged, with notification of acceptance, by mid December. Please note that authors will have the option of submitting their papers for online publication as part of the Journal of Religion and Culture’s Conference Proceedings series, a non-peer reviewed division of the academic journal produced by the graduate students of Concordia University.

ORDER AND CHAOS: THE MORE THINGS CHANGE…
Submissions are welcomed for the
18th Annual Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference
To be held Thursday, February 14th, 2013, Concordia University
Faculty Lounge, Hall Building, 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West, Montreal
From time immemorial, the struggle to define order and chaos has left its indelible mark on the human psyche: can true change ever occur or is it all really just the same? The dichotomy is virtually universal and presents itself in art, myth, literature, philosophy and religious beliefs. The idea of change as a means to maintain order or as a proponent of chaos is one that affects us all and is more of a prevalent theme than ever. The 18th Annual Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference is putting together a Special Interest Section dedicated solely to the concept of how things change as seen throughout history and cultures within the larger context of traditions and transition. We invite papers from areas of the humanities, art and social sciences to form a special interest section that discusses the various aspects of order and chaos and its implication within cultures, societies and religion.
Presentations in either French or English are encouraged. Proposals may be submitted by e-mail. Proposals are to be no more than one page and must include a publication-ready, titled abstract of 150-200 words. The name, e-mail address, university affiliation and level of study of the presenter(s) must also be included. Any special requests or needs for audio-visual equipment must also be indicated. Proposals should be submitted no later than December 5th, 2012. All received submissions will be acknowledged, with notification of acceptance, by mid December. Please note that authors will have the option of submitting their papers for online publication as part of the Journal of Religion and Culture’s Conference Proceedings series, a non-peer reviewed division of the academic journal produced by the graduate students of Concordia University.
