[Commlist] CfP Conference: Religious Identity and the Media. Methods, concepts, and new research avenues

*Conference “Religious Identity and the Media. Methods, concepts, and 
new research avenues”*
*March 25-27, 2021 – Warsaw, Poland*

During the Covid-19 pandemic, most Churches and believers worldwide 
resorted to the media to build and maintain their communities, 
identities, and share their beliefs, which has shown how important media 
has been for religious organizations and individuals. Analyzing the 
pre-pandemic context, and inspired by the transformations of mediatized 
religion landscape, we are excited to open the Call for Papers for the 
conference “Religious Identity and the Media. Methods, concepts, and new 
research avenues”, organized by the team of the DFG and NCN funded 
research project “Minorities and the media. The communicative 
construction of religious identity in times of deep mediatisation” 
(https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/religionswissenschaft/forschung/forschungsprojekte/minorities-and-the-media).
The conference theme discusses the manifold relationships between 
creating, negotiating, maintaining and challenging religious and 
religion-related identities, and various types of media and forms of 
media use.

It will be hosted by the Institute for Philosophy and Sociology of the 
Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. The keynote lectures will be held 
by Mia Lövheim (Uppsala University) and Christoph Günther (Johannes 
Gutenberg Universität Mainz).

For the CALL FOR PAPERS visit the conference website:

The deadline for paper proposals is *November 1st, 2020*.

We are able to financially support two PhD students with the amount of 
up to 300€ for travel and accommodation costs. For more information on 
the travel allowance visit:

We will continue to monitor the situation regarding the COVID-19 
pandemic and we will comply with any relevant administrative 
regulations. We also consider hosting a partially or fully online 
conference if that is the best solution.
