Participate as a Presenter
For over 10 years, we've offered a place to create an intellectual frame of reference for the academic study of religion and spirituality and to create an interdisciplinary conversation on the role of religion and spirituality in society. We welcome returning and new members to add their voices to the conversation.
In-Person: In-Person presentations will be delivered onsite. We offer innovative formats for a range of presentation styles.
Online Only: online presentations will be delivered and viewed online as asynchronous digital media. Online Only presenters also have discussion boards to structure conversations and access to other online activities.
Conference as Archive: we'll capture and add as much content as possible on the conference microsite. While it's a requirement for online-only presenters, we strongly encourage in-person presenters to pre-record and upload their presentations to the conference microsite. The conference microsite becomes an archive to which delegates and Research Network members can return anytime.
With this step-by-step guide, we walk you through the new phases pre/during/post-conference to ensure you have a productive conference.
Participate as an Audience Member
Audience Passes are for those who want to benefit from the content, connect with presenters, and join the discussion. Audience members will also be recognized in the program for their participation. We welcome returning and new members to add their voices to the conversation.
In-Person: participate in innovative in-person formats, plenaries, talking circles, garden conversations, and on a human scale. You will also have access to all online-only content.
Online Only: gain access to live and recorded presentations, welcome addresses, plenaries, and curated thematic content -- from any place and in your own time.
Conference as Archive: we'll capture and add as much content as possible on the conference microsite. And you can help here too. If you do not see digital media on a presenter page, you can request it from the presenter. You can also add comments to discussion boards of all content. The conference microsite becomes an archive to which delegates and Research Network members can return anytime.
All accepted proposals are eligible to be submitted to The International Journal of Religion and Spirituality in Society. And authors, reviewers, and Research Network members gain subscriber access to the journal.
