<p>For our standalone panel(s), the Korean Religions
Unit welcomes proposals for papers sessions, roundtable sessions, and
individual papers. Proposals in all areas of Korean Religions will be
considered, but we are especially interested in working around the
following themes as they relate to religion in Korea:</p>
<p>● <b> Reunification of the Korean Peninsula</b></p>
<p>● <b>Peace Process between North and South Korea</b></p>
<p>● <b>Refugees/Migrants</b></p>
<p>● <b>March First Movement</b></p>
<p>Additionally, we have two topics proposed by AAR members who will
serve as panel organizers. If you would like to contribute to one of the
following potential panels, please contact the organizer directly.
</p>
<p>● <b> Material Culture and Korean Religions</b>, Organizer: Liora Sarfati Email: <a href="mailto:lsarfati@tauex.tau.ac.il" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lsarfati@tauex.tau.ac.il</a> -<br>
Objects play an important role in Korean religions. From Ancestor
altars, to churches, shamanic offerings, and golden Buddha statues, the
religious practice is embedded in the material world. This panel offers
to explore the roles of objects in religious practice and belief in its
broadest sense, both historically and in contemporary Korea. Panel
proposals can discuss meanings and uses of artefacts in Korean religion,
and theoretical perspectives related to the agency of objects, their
affect, and the relationship between verbal, behavioural and material
social constructs related to any religious manifestation in Korea.
</p>
<p>● <b>Transnational Networks and Connections in Korean Religions</b>, Organizer: Sungjin Im Email: <a href="mailto:sungjin.im2@duke.edu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sungjin.im2@duke.edu</a> -<br>
This panel invites papers that explore connections between Korean
religions and their counterparts in other countries and/or within the
Korean diaspora, transnational expressions of Korean religions, Korean
religions and transnational identities, and other related topics.</p>
<p>Finally, we invite proposals for the following panel co-sponsored
with the New Religious Movements Unit and the Sikh Studies Unit:</p>
