Call for Papers
We invite advanced MA and PhD students from a variety of disciplines (e.g., Religious Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, History, Political Science, Media and Communications, and others). For confirmed participants, all expenses are covered, including travel (up to € 750), accommodation and food. It will take place in Erfurt, Germany from 22 to 26 September, 2025.
The participant presentations may be an overview presentation of your research topic or a relevant aspect of it, but it may also be the presentation of a particularly tricky (methodological) issue you are grappling with or an intriguing source. We expect presentations of 15-20 minutes which are followed by a discussion.
In order to participate, please send a motivation letter of 1-2 pages (not AI-generated) to religious-belonging@uni-erfurt.de by 31 March 2025
The letter must include
- your educational background and command of English
- your current affiliation and place of residence (to calculate travel costs)
- your current research field and how this relates to the topic of the summer school
- the title of your presentation for the summer school, including a short abstract
We look forward to the Summer School, which will hopefully be an opportunity for a fruitful exchange of ideas and perspectives and bringing the study of religion and digital media forward!
