Conference aims
? The aim of the event is to bring together researchers from a wide range of disciplines, interested in: a) examining the nature, scope, and context of abuses of power, both in the Church and beyond; and b) investigating the means by which they may be overcome.
? While the sexual abuse crisis will naturally form a major focus of the conference (and project), this cannot be understood within a vacuum. We are therefore keen to explore all other issues relating to the topic of theology, power, and abuse.
? The conference will identify a number of key themes that will guide and inform the Redeeming Power project over the next two years, leading to a number of events, projects and publications across Europe.
Call for Papers
Significant time has been set aside in the conference schedule for short papers (i.e., 20 mins) and discussion. Established and emerging scholars from a wide range of disciplines ? including, but not limited to, theology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, social work, history, and law (canon and secular) ? are strongly encouraged to consider submitting a proposal.
Abstracts (no more than 250 words) of proposed topics should be sent to Dr Stephen Bullivant at stephen.bullivant@smuc.ac.uk by Friday, 13 July.
Decisions will be communicated by Friday, 20 July.
Registration
Full conference information (e.g., full schedule), and details on how to
register, will be made available on the project website:
