CALL FOR PAPERS

This postgraduate Study Day, hosted in association with the Catholic Theological Association, is a chance for postgraduates working in any aspect of contemporary Catholic theology and/or Catholic studies to meet, discuss, and present their research in a collegial environment. Postgraduates are invited to submit proposals (title and brief abstract) for 20 minute papers. Paper proposals are invited in such areas as:

• Philosophical and doctrinal theology
• The critical-constructive study of Catholicism, including gender and ethical considerations
• The challenges critical theory brings to Catholic self-understanding
• Issues pertaining to cultural and historical expressions of Catholicism
• Catholic engagement with specific intellectuals

For those who are interested and able, people will be sharing an affordable dinner in a local restaurant on the evening of 28th April; we can also help advise on accommodation for those who need it.

The deadline for submission of proposals is 1st April 2014. To submit a proposal, register for the day, or for general enquiries, please contact Dr Michael Canaris: michael.canaris@durham.ac.uk (0191 334 1656).
