CFP: International Society for Historians of Atheism, Secularism, and Humanism Inaugural Conference
4-5 June 2016, Conway Hall in London, UK
Interest in the history of atheism, secularism, and humanism has taken off in the past decade. Previously, only a handful of academics dealt with the history of unbelief in any systematic way, but in recent years this has begun to change. Dynamic studies of this history now cover a range of national, international, and temporal contexts from a variety of different subdisciplinary perspectives. The International Society for Historians of Atheism, Secularism, and Humanism (ISHASH) was formed in late 2014 to take advantage of this interest by providing a forum for the growing number of diverse scholars working in this field to network and collaborate.
We are therefore pleased to announce the inaugural ISHASH conference, taking place on 4-5 June 2016 at Conway Hall in London. The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars who study the history of atheism, secularism, and humanism to discuss the current state of research in this field.
Please email ishash.conference@gmail.com the following by 31 January 2016 if you are interested in participating: a 250-word abstract; a short CV; whether you would like to be considered for a travel bursary.
Submissions Due: 31 January 2016
