Call for Papers

Reclaiming Christianity from populism:Political theologies of local citizenship and inclusive sources of belonging

14–16 April 2021

The Protestant Political Thought Project at the University of Cambridge 

The Protestant Political Thought project (Cambridge Institute on Religion and International Studies) is proud to present our second spring conference. This year we are accepting short conference briefs instead of papers and have put together a flexible programme in order to create a practical focus and avoid Zoom fatigue. We are accepting briefs in the following areas: political theologies of local citizenship, local collaborations and levelling-up, reclaiming Christianity from populism. We especially welcome pieces on interfaith collaboration and racial reconciliation at the local/civil level. See attached CfP below for details.

Please send a proposed paper title, short abstract (c.300 words) and short biography to ppt@ciris.org.uk by 4 February 2021.

By Political Theology Network

The Political Theology Network aims to be a hub for exploring the intersection of religious and political ideas and practices. The Network is interdisciplinary, publicly engaged, and committed to building links between theologians, practitioners, and humanities scholars. Riding a wave of scholarly interest in political theology that itself follows the increasing visibility of religion in public life, the Network seeks to create the infrastructure that will allow this interest to flourish in the long term, supporting discussions of political theology in the classroom, in scholarly research, and in the public arena. By bringing scholars thinking with the term “political theology” from throughout the humanities together with scholars of religious traditions, we aim to thicken the appreciation of religion’s complexity among the former while sharpening the critical edge of the latter.
