Century:
At the Interface of Theory, Practice and Pedagogy
Sunday 20th March ? Tuesday 22nd March 2011

Call for Papers
The contemporary study of spirituality encompasses
a wide range of interests. These have come not
only from the more traditional areas of
religious scholarship - theology, philosophy of
religion, history of religion, comparative
religion, mysticism - but also more recently from
management, medicine, and many other fields.
This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary
conference seeks to examine and explore issues
surrounding spirituality in regard to theory,
praxis and pedagogy. Perspectives are sought from
those engaged in the fields of Alcohol and Drug
Rehabilitation, Business, Counseling, Ecology,
Education, Healing, History, Management,
Mass/Organizational/Speech Communication,
Medicine, Nursing, Performance Studies,
Philosophy, Psychiatry, Psychology,
Reconciliation/Refugee/Resettlement Projects,
Social Work, and Theatre.
These disciplines are indicative only, as papers
are welcomed from any area, profession and/or
vocation in which Spirituality plays a part.
Papers, reports, works-in-progress and workshops
are invited on issues related to any of the
following themes:
* Conceptualizations of Spirituality
* History(ies) of Spirituality
* Interpreting elements and examples of
Spirituality
* The Liminal elements and facets of Spirituality

double blind peer reviewed where appropriate.
