Online workshop organized by Fouad Gehad Marei (University of Birmingham) and Gabriel Malli (University of Graz / University of Erfurt). Registration until 2 April.

This online workshop capitalizes on the amplified importance of faith-related digital practices and devices, recognizing that people of faith have been entangled with the effects and conditions of the digital environment for decades.

Speakers and panel discussants:

Applications should be sent to mwk-ifaith@uni-erfurt.de by the 2nd of April.

Decisions will be made and a notification of acceptance will be given by the end of March.

Submissions and publication:
Authors should submit full-length draft articles by the 16th of August.
Articles will be pre-circulated to workshop participants and discussants for in-depth comments and feedback. While the emphasis is on scientific quality, articles should be approximately 7,500 words (including all notes and references). Selected papers will be included in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal, tentatively planned for autumn 2022. Workshop participants should be willing to revise their papers and resubmit them for inclusion in the special issue.
