The Arts, Media, Literature and Religion (AMLR) section of the College Theology Society cordially invites proposals in light of the 2024 convention theme— “Vulnerability and Flourishing.” This theme invites us to consider how works of art, literature, and media address the theological significance of experiences of vulnerability— both as a good and as a site of potential harm. In light of this vulnerability, we are invited to consider how art and creativity might aid in the formation of flourishing communities. The section warmly welcomes proposals that take more systematic, historical, theoretical, or practical approaches to religious aesthetics and vulnerability/flourishing.
Non-specialists in the study of the arts, media, literature, or religion and theology are encouraged to consider submitting to this section. Graduate students and newer members of the CTS have also found a warm reception in our section.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
Please email your 200-300 word abstract to BOTH taborc@sacredheart.edu AND nky3ht@virginia.edu by December 15, 2023. In your proposal, please include the title of your project, your name, institutional affiliation, and any audio/visual needs. Feel welcome to contact Callie Tabor and Victoria Basug Slabinski at the above addresses with any questions or concerns.
