3rd International Conference on Religion and Spirituality in Society (Religion in American History)
An interesting history-related post from Religion in American History:
Today's guest post comes from Richard Kent Evans, a graduate student in the Department of History at Texas Tech University.
The Third International Conference on Religion and Spirituality in Society recently took place on the campus of Arizona State University. As that’s my (relative) neck of the woods, I decided to attend. About one hundred scholars, skeptics, and believers (and interesting combinations thereof) were in attendance, representing thirty-two countries. Three presentations stood out to me, and they should be of interest to historians of American religion.

The Politics of Religion (Religion in American History)
An interesting history-related post from Religion in American History:
by Emily Suzanne Clark
This past weekend was the 12th annual Florida State University Graduate Student Symposium (#fsugss on Twitter). Dr. Aaron Hughes from the University of Rochester was this year’s keynote speaker, and this year’s conference theme was the “Politics of Religion.” There were many great panels that took place over the weekend, and the presented papers covered all sorts of topics in the field. I’ll focus my reflections here on discussions of theory issues in our field; so, if theory isn’t your bag, this post may not be for you. However, as Dr. Hughes told ...

Home Alone as Historians Partied Like It Was 1799 (RELIGION IN AMERICAN HISTORY)
An interesting history-related post from RELIGION IN AMERICAN HISTORY:
Well, while about 4,300 historians were partying in New Orleans during the American Historical Association Thursday until today, certain other historians (clearing throat) were home sneezing, sniffling, and coughing their way through the weekend, watching Black Jesus (Robert Griffin III) get crucified by some angry birds from Seattle, and orchestrating a small army of workmen traipsing through said historian's home while staring at the grand canyon of moving boxes blocking any passageway through the living room. Jealous yet?Yeah, it was party central here, while the poor folks in NOLA had to talk history at places like Arnaud's, ...

U.S. Thought and Culture Between Practice and Paralysis: University of Michigan U.S. Literatures and Cultures Consortium (RELIGION IN AMERICAN HISTORY)
An interesting history-related post from RELIGION IN AMERICAN HISTORY:
Call for Papers:
University of Michigan US Literatures and Cultures Consortium.
Deadline for Proposals - January 8th 2013 (Notifications of acceptance by February 1st).
Keynotes:
Paul Taylor (Philosophy / African American and Diaspora Studies, Penn State): author of Race: A Philosophical Introduction
Lisi Schoenbach (English, University of Tennessee Knoxville): author of Pragmatic Modernism
Are there distinctively American attitudes toward objectivity and truth, judgment and action? Two of the most enduring cliches about US culture are, first, that its thought characteristically refuses universal grounds, and second, that it privileges material practicality over theoretical or metaphysical abstraction. Yet without universal grounds, how can we be convinced that anything is worth doing? Let’s grant that it is; such a groundless granting may initially let us act with a sense of freedom and unlimited potential, but justifying or revising that ...

Feasting at the AAR (RELIGION IN AMERICAN HISTORY)
An interesting history-related post from RELIGION IN AMERICAN HISTORY:
Conferences are like church potluck Thanksgiving dinners. More specifically, dinners like those at a multiracial/multicultural church when participants bring food from their respective backgrounds. I feasted at the AAR this weekend. I went to some panels that were standard fare for me, which were like the traditional turkey, gravy, and cranberry mold. I went to others that were more like steamed bok choi or collard greens with bacon bits, dabbling in things I was less familiar with. Before my body is overwhelmed from a tryptophan-induced nap, I wanted to draw out ...
