CALL FOR PAPERS
Canadian Theological Society
Société théologique canadienne
Annual Meeting
York University, Toronto
May 28-30, 2006
(please see a note from the CTS President)
The theme of this year's Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is The City: A Festival of Knowledge. The Congress claims: "The synergies and complexities of 21st century culture, society, politics, economics and communications are dominated by the city. While the city in history has had a profound effect on the civilizations that built them, the contemporary city is at once local and global. In Canada, it has become the crucible of the country's future." This theme of "The City" is intended to stimulate discussion, debate, and exchange across a wide-ranging variety of perspectives and against the background of disciplinary, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and scholarship. Further information on this theme can be obtained from the Congress website.
While we invite you to submit proposals on any theological or religious subject, we encourage you to submit proposals which relate to the theme of The City: A Festival of Knowledge. The theme is flexible and can include topics on theology and culture, with special attention to the city, or themes such as poverty, economics, migration, ecology, arts, with a tone of celebration or lament.
We request that proposals are in one of the following four types and in French or English. To facilitate anonymous review of proposals, please include your name, institutional affiliation, and contact information on a separate page from your paper proposal; if you submit your proposal by e-mail, the CTS/STC secretary will remove any information identifying you from the proposal submitted to the executive.
Regular Papers: presentation of 40 minutes, 15 minutes for discussion.
Special Papers: presentation of 40 minutes, 15 minute response and 30 minutes for discussion.
Work in Progress: informal presentation of 20 minutes, plus 20 minutes for discussion.
Workshops, Panels, and Seminars: presentations, responses and discussion for 1.5 hours. The person organizing such a session is responsible for setting the topic and enlisting participants.

For all types of papers, please submit (preferably by e-mail) the proposed subject, an abstract of about 150 words, and the name(s) of the presenter(s) by Friday, January 6, 2006 to:
