Upcoming Conferences
The Society of Early Americanists Special Topics Conference, St. Louis, Missouri, March 1-4, 2018
Religion and Politics in Early America
Sponsored by:
- The Danforth Center on Religion and Politics
- The Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy
- The Society of Early Americanists
- St. Louis University
- Washington University in St. Louis
This conference will explore the intersections between religion and politics in early America from pre-contact through the early republic. All topics related to the way religion shapes politics or politics shapes religion—how the two conflict, collaborate, or otherwise configure each other—will be welcomed. We define the terms “religion” and “politics” broadly, including (for example) studies of secularity and doubt. This conference will have a broad temporal, geographic, and topical expanse. We intend to create a space for interdisciplinary conversation, though this does not mean that all panels will need be composed of multiple disciplines; we welcome both mixed panels and panels composed entirely of scholars from a single discipline.
The deadline for proposal submissions has passed.
