Conference Description:
The Islamic Studies section encourages the submission of proposals that are related to the academic study of Islam. We are particularly interested in papers that touch directly or indirectly on the 2010 AAR/WR theme of "La Frontera” (border, boundary, or frontier). This theme calls for analysis of the many types of boundaries, including geographical, spiritual, cultural, chronological, theological, transformational, and theoretical, that are found in our societies and in our lives. You are also welcome to submit papers having to do with Islamic Studies that are unrelated to the topic of the conference. Proposals, no more than two pages in length, and participation forms should be sent by email to Co-Chair Prof. Souad Ali at Souad.Ali@asu.edu and Co-Chair Prof. Sophia Pandya at spandya@csulb.edu by September 30th, 2009. All accepted participants on the program must be members of the AAR."
