2016 annual conference will be held at the University of Arizona April 1-3, 2016.Call for papers will go out in July.Conference theme is Social Justice:The overall theme for the 2016 Conference is Social Justice. We are using this idea in its broadest terms. We are hoping to encompass through the different Units racism, feminism, womanism, eco-justice, gender justice, classism, neo-colonialism, etc. seen through the eyes of religious scholars.We are living in a world that has embraced technology/science, neglected mythos and uses religion as a front for all the “isms” that foster inequality in the world.How does your research unearth a path to sanity? What have you discovered from the past that would be helpful? What are you exploring/inventing for the future?
