International Cultic Studies Association

The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) seeks paper and panel proposals for its 2008 Annual International Conference to be held at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June 27-29, 2008.

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.
