Paradoxes of Faith? Contexts, Concepts and Consequences
Invitation and call for pitches/papers for conference/PhD-course November 4.-5. 2022
Conference Call for Project Pitches/Short Papers (1-3 pages)
The aim of the Pitch Session (see conference program) is to enable both junior and senior researchers to share their research ideas or results, to receive response from Christian Danz (Vienna) and to discuss it more broadly with the conference/course participants. We encourage speakers to concentrate the one most important points or concept(s) from their research/project. Pitches does not have to relate directly to the theme of the conference/course, but can be indirectly related e.g. through concepts of faith, reason, paradox, controversy, absurdity, inconsistency, dialectic etc.
Application process:
The pitch/short paper must include the following:
- Title of the presentation
- Full name, affiliation, country of residence and email address
- Pitch/short paper max 3 pages
Please submit your proposal to jst@teol.ku.dk no later than October 21. 2022
