Deadline: 31 October 2012
Call for essays for a volume on Asian Religions for a series titled Women and Religion in the World. This set explores the experiences of women and how their daily lives interface with a dynamic aspect of life and culture, that of religion. The design of this multi-volume, interdisciplinary work depicts a representation of contemporary selected experiences of women in six categories: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Asian Religions, Indigenous Religions, and New Religions.
The themes of (1) Woman, Family, Environment; (2) Socio-economics, Politics, Authority; (3) Body, Mind, & Spirit; (4) Sexuality, Power, & Vulnerability; and (5) Women, World-View, & Religious Practice, serve as guiding parameters for contextual analysis to better relate the daily lives of women as shaped by their faith practice. We are looking for essays between 6,000 and 9,000 words (24-30 pages).
If you are interested in contributing to this project, would you kindly send me a 100 word abstract by the end of October? The essays themselves would be due December 31st, or soon thereafter. The deadlines are not hard and fast, and I'd be willing to work with you for a deadline that is more doable from your perspective.
