Call for Papers

 

2007 Annual International Conference:

 

Psychological Manipulation, Cultic Groups, and Other Alternative Movements

 

The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) seeks paper and panel proposals for its 2007 Annual International Conference to be held in Brussels, Belgium, June 29 through July 1, 2007.

Info-Cult/Info-Secte of Montreal is working with ICSA to make this an English-French bilingual conference.  Hence, proposals may be sent in either or both languages (some presentations may be given twice, one in each language).

Attendees and speakers at ICSA conferences are diverse, including academicians, helping professionals, former and current group members, families, clergy, educators, and others.

Individual presenters may have up to 45-minutes for paper delivery and discussion. Panel organizers have 90 minutes.  It is recommended that no more than four people speak on a panel.

Papers and panel proposals will be considered in all areas of cultic studies, including religious fanaticism as it may manifest in terrorism.

If you are not familiar with ICSA conferences, we suggest that you go here for lists of topics and presenters from current and previous conferences. If the hyperlink does not work for you, copy and paste the following into your browser: http://www.icsahome.com/idx_events.conferences.htm

  1. panel title
