The International Cultic
Studies Association (ICSA) seeks
paper and panel proposals for its 2009 Annual
International Conference which is being
organized in collaboration with
Info-Cult/Info-Secte of Montreal,
Canada.
The conference will be held
in Geneva, Switzerland, July 2 through July
4, 2009.
ICSA has been running
conferences annually for more than 20 years.
The conference will be
bilingual (English-French), so
proposals may be sent in either or both
languages (some presentations may be given
twice, once 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.
