Acknowledgments
Thank you to . . .
Oxford University Press for its continued sponsorship of the New Book Reception. OUP is a true friend to the social scientific study of religion.
Kraig Beyerlein for serving as SSSR Program Chair. Not only did Kraig put together more than 100 SSSR sessions, but he merged all sessions from all groups into one coherent (and rather excellent) program where neither topics nor participants overlap.
Kraig adds his thanks to his assistants, Katie Hoegeman and Laura Hunter, and to the University of Arizona Sociol- ogy Department for help in supporting those assistants.
Jack Marcum for serving as RRA Program Chair and for partnering with Kraig to create a seamless program.
Joy Sherrill in the SSSR office for handling each and every registration and financial transaction for the meeting just as she handles every single member transaction for SSSR through the year.
Rebecca Vasko from the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at IUPUI for formatting the program into the user-friendly, readable document it has become.
Matt Drake for once again managing the SSSR website. Matt developed a very complex session and proposal management system which Kraig used to create the meeting. The two of them worked overtime to make it work.
The Horowitz Family and Exhibit Promotions Plus for 40 years of organizing our book exhibit and for serving as our agent for meeting planning.
Theology Digest We translate and condense articles from the world’s theological journals so you don’t have to. Each issue contains our famous Book Survey – featuring descriptions of hundreds of the latest books published in Theology. theologydigest.slu.edu SSSR/RRA Annual Meeting October 23-25, 2009
RELIGIONJOURNALS
NOVA RELIGIO
Nova Religio presents scholarly interpretations and examinations of alternative, emergent, and new religious movements and communities in both past and present eras. Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural in scope, this vital journal contributes to a comprehensive considera- tion of an aspect of religion that is often misrepresented and misinterpreted in both public and scholarly forums.
RELIGION & AMERICAN CULTURE
Religion and American Culture explores the interplay between religion and other spheres of American culture. The only journal devoted to promoting the ongoing schol- arly discussion of the nature, terms, and dynamics of reli- gion in America, it embraces an array of methodological approaches and theoretical perspectives, publishing arti- cles that exemplify both innovative and more traditional aspects of American religious scholarship.

Society for the Scientific Study of Religion Annual Meeting October 29-31, 2010 Sheraton Baltimore City Center Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland
Religion in Global Perspective
Religious identities, belief systems and institutions have been transformed by globalization, and globalization has acceler- ated the rate of this transformation. Everywhere, the processes of economic liberalization and migration interact with the religious aspects of society and individuals’ lives. For example, immigration is changing the religious make-up of countries’ populations; economies open to foreign capital and investment are also experiencing the challenge of change.
This is an intellectually challenging, pioneering time for the scientific study of religion. As last year’s call for papers noted, “researchers are studying an ever changing religious landscape using new concepts and theoretical ideas, sharper analyti- cal tools, and increasingly rich, sophisticated, and accessible quantitative and qualitative data.” We tackle this transforma- tion as scholars by coming together to engage in an ambitious, far-reaching and inclusive annual meeting.
Proposals for sessions and papers on any topic in the scientific study of religion are welcome. We particularly invite propos- als for sessions that include perspectives from around the globe and papers that situate their research within a global con- text. We anticipate tackling important issues and debates in the scientific study of religion; illuminating new developments and emerging trends in religious institutions, movements and social groups; expanding our understanding of the role of reli- gion in individuals’ lives; exploring progress in conceptualizations; and foregrounding advances in methodology. Proposals including research from experiments, computer simulations, analysis of narratives, historical or ethnographic case studies and large-scale data projects, and from scholars in all disciplines are invited.
All session and paper proposals must be submitted via the on-line submission system that will be available on the SSSR’s web site, www.sssrweb.org, beginning January 15, 2010. In addition to the session petitioner’s full contact information, a session proposal requires a session title and an abstract of not more than 150 words describing the goal of the session and how the petitioner expects the session to contribute to the scientific knowledge of religion. Paper proposals require the name(s) of the author(s), first author’s full contact information, abstract of not more than 150 words that succinctly describes the question(s) motivating the research, the data and methods used, and what the paper contributes or expects to contribute to the knowledge or understanding of religion. The submission deadline is March 1, 2010.
The meetings are taking place in Baltimore, Maryland, a central location on the U.S. East Coast, well known for its Inner Harbor and Harborplace, fresh seafood, and ethnic neighborhoods. It is home to the Baltimore Basilica (1806–1821) which is the oldest Catholic Cathedral in the U.S.; the Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church, built in 1870 and noted for its stained glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany; the 1845 Greek Revival style Lloyd Street Synagogue which is one of the oldest synagogues in the U.S.; and the Sharp Street United Methodist Church, a National Historic Landmark established in 1787 and the home of Baltimore’s first black congregation. Well known for its unique histories, immigrant populations, foods and cultures, Baltimore is an ideal setting for the 2010 SSSR meetings.

Religious Research Association 2010 Annual Meeting, October 29-31 Sheraton Baltimore City Center
Religion in Unsettled Times
Although it can be argued that all times are to some degree unsettled, recent times have been tumultuous for many in the United States and other societies. Literal and figurative tsunamis have provoked change, realignment, and new practices. Such dynamics are not new, of course, but they do raise questions about what roles religion plays as societies experience dislocation of various sorts. The analysis of how religious individuals and organizations act in the face of perceived crises can add to our understanding of the interaction between religion and its contexts, and can shed light on many of the cur- rent challenges with which religious institutions wrestle.
We therefore solicit proposals for sessions and papers that examine how institutions and leaders define and respond to perceived crises or dislocation (financial, political, organizational, personal, etc.). Possible questions or issues to address include:
• The effect of the US financial meltdown on congregations, denominations, or other religious organizations • The effect of the financial meltdown on religious restructuring in the US • The social construction of crisis • Ministries of relief and emergency response • Improvisation in ministry • The work of chaplaincy (in hospitals, airports, and other high stress settings) • Ritual and crisis • Religion and violence • Prayer and the experience of crisis • The religious practices and perspectives of stigmatized groups • Religion and contentious politics • Religion and insurgency • Religion and climate change
We welcome papers on all topics of a practical or theoretical nature relating to religion, especially (but not limited to) orga- nized religion, denominations, and congregations. This year, however, we encourage sessions, papers, and panels that address the larger question of religion in unsettled times.
Send all proposals by email to: Deborah Kapp, McCormick Theological Seminary, [email protected] Include email addresses and affiliations of all participants/authors on proposals.
Session and paper proposals due: March 1, 2010 Completed papers due: September 30, 2010 SSSR/RRA Annual Meeting October 23-25, 2009
