<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman">The American Academy of Religion is holding its 2013 meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, November 23-26. And the Korean Religions Group of the AAR invites you to submit proposals for panels or individual
papers. Any proposal related to Korea and religion will be considered but particular consideration will be given to proposals addressing the following themes:</font></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"><strong>Themes for the Standalone Session</strong></font></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman">Noteworthy figures in Korean religions from any religious tradition from any period in Korea. Proposals may treat one or more figures and should speak to the figure(s)' significance for their local,
Korean context and for the context that transcends Korea. Proposals that compare figures from different Korean religious traditions with respect to a particular theme keyed to the local/global dynamic are welcome. Figures of any race or ethnicity qualify
so long as they are of import to Korean religions.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman">Religion's role in war and peace in Korea, e.g., religion's role in the Korean War and efforts to reunify the two Koreas.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"><strong>Themes for the Cosponsored Session with the Christian Spirituality Group</strong></font></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman">Christian spirituality in Korea as well as in other parts of East Asia, manifested in the past or the present, and embodied, e.g., in beliefs, events, persons, practices, or experiences. We especially
encourage proposals that discuss how Christian spirituality has been influenced by the religious and sociopolitical context of Korea/East Asia, whether through conscious or unconscious adaptation or through outright reaction against it. Proposals that compare
Korean and other East Asian forms of Christian spirituality are also welcome.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="times new roman">Paper proposals for either of these sessions must be submitted through the PAPERS system on the AAR website. The deadline for proposal submission is March 1, 2013. Notification of acceptance or rejection
of proposals will be made by April 1, 2013.</font></div>
