CALL FOR PAPERS

The study day aims to explore the significance and role of religious professionals or 'specialists' in the contemporary world. Papers are invited on a range of themes, such as:

To what extent are religious specialists 'professional'?

How, if at all, do religious professionals exercise authority or influence in modern society?

How are the roles of religious specialists changing in minority contexts?

What is the significance of the increasing role of women as religious professionals?

How effective is the training of contemporary religious specialists?

The theme is to be interpreted widely and contributions of full papers as well as shorter 'work in progress' papers would be welcome.
