Call for Papers: Canadian Theological Society 2021 Annual Meeting

Monday, May 31 – Wednesday, June 2, 2021
University of Alberta. Edmonton, Alberta

 

The theme for the Canadian Theological Society for 2021 is “Unsettling Northern Relations.” As suggested by the Congress logo, this theme disrupts an unjust status quo by emphasizing “a symphony of voices, perspectives, ideas, communities and cultures coming together in harmony. A common University of Alberta symbol, bears moving together in the same direction communicate the concept of leading by example and being aware of the generational impact of our actions.” The pursuit of such an ideal comes with its own challenges. Considering that the Arctic North is one of the geographical areas most affected by climate change and a primary target for the expansion of capitalist exploitation of natural resources, this conference provides a unique opportunity to engage and learn with the diverse communities and environments that form the Canadian North, and build a sustainable and just future.

 

Alongside its peer disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, theology is invited to open up much-needed space for transformative dialogue, debate and showcase creative critical engagements within and across disciplines. With this year’s annual meeting, the Canadian Theological Society thus wishes more broadly to foster and encourage critical reflection among scholars, educators, students, ordained, religious and lay leaders, activists, and the public at large, on the nature, sources and implications of current social, ethnic, political and epistemological conditions (especially as these relate to theological and religious teaching and practice), that would enable the communities and milieus of the North to overcome marginalization by and subjection to “southern” perspectives and standards and express their unique identities and gifts in full. Critical theological reflection on the contested nature of “North” and “South” relations on a geopolitical level and their multiple social, political, economic and cultural implications is also welcome.

 

Theological reflection on this theme includes, for example, unveiling the theological significance and implications of the emergence and history of ideas of the North as part of core-periphery, North-north and North-South relations, nature-nurture ecological relations and cultural impact on notions of barren wilderness to explore and exploit, and Doctrine of discovery. Other themes include developing ethical, pedagogical and ministerial resources enabling theological scholarship to find new ways to raise critical awareness of the actual reality and challenges of the North and advocate for a concerted effort to address the global ecological crisis and create conditions for truly sustainable and harmonious inhabitation of all the lands on which Canada is located.

 

We welcome theological papers from all religious traditions, and especially seek those that engage Indigenous and other ways of knowing as lived and taught in the Canadian North. We encourage scholarship that probes how theology might challenge settler-colonialism and anti-black racism, as experienced in Canada. Given the theme of conversation, we also are particularly eager to explore theologies outside of mainstream Christianity, including postcolonial, feminist, anti-racist, environmental and animal studies.

 

We also welcome proposals on other topics in theology, and in all of the theological disciplines, including pastoral, systematic, philosophical and moral theology. The Canadian Theological Society is committed to providing fair representation of Canadian diversity within and beyond the theological community. Women, Indigenous and African-Canadian scholars as well as members of other underrepresented groups are therefore especially enjoined to submit proposals.

 

The Canadian Theological Society invites proposals pertaining to these and related themes in two formats:

 

8-10 minute Presentations

Because the conference will be taking place online, this year we will not follow the usual 20/20 format. We rather invite presentations of 8-10 minutes that will be part of roundtables involving 3 presentations and 20-25 minutes of discussion. Typically the presentation will be an account of a larger research project. Since members work in a variety of fields and specializations, attention should be given to presenting advanced work in an accessible way.

 

Submission

Submit a proposal that includes:

• Title of presentation;
• Proposal of a maximum 250 words (with word count), which includes an abstract, the problem your scholarship engages, and the contribution you plan to make;
• Indication of need to display slides during presentation (PowerPoint or other format);
• On a separate page, please include:
  • Presenter’s name, institutional or professional affiliation, and contact information.

N.B.: Please take note that sessions will be recorded. The recordings will be posted the following day on the section of the secured portal reserved to the Canadian Theological Society. Only duly registered members will have access to these recordings. The portal will be accessible until the end of June 2021. The informed consent of presenters and participants will be sought before sessions take place.

 

2. Panels

We invite panels on issues that are relevant to members, especially as related to the theme of the annual meeting. Panel proposals should be developed to include diverse voices and perspectives and foster dialogue among the panelists as well as with those attending in the audience. We discourage panels that consist only of reading several papers.

 

Submission

Submit a proposal that includes:

• Title of panel;
• Length of panel (50 minutes), with at least 20 minutes of discussion/conversation;
• Proposal of a maximum 250 words (with word count), which includes an abstract, the problem your scholarship engages, the contribution you plan to make, and how you plan to foster dialogue among panelists and audience (e.g., use and allotment of time);
• Indication of need to display slides during presentation (PowerPoint or other format);
• On a separate page, please include:
  • Convener’s name, institution, and contact information.  The convener will be the link between the panel and the CTS;
  • Names, institutions and contact information of all members (max. of 4) of the panel;
  • Either the name and contact information of the moderator, or a request that CTS provide a moderator.

N.B.: Please take note that sessions will be recorded. The recordings will be posted the following day on the section of the secured portal reserved to the Canadian Theological Society. Only duly registered members will have access to these recordings. The portal will be accessible until the end of June 2021. The informed consent of presenters and participants will be sought before sessions take place.

 

All proposals should be submitted in a Word or pdf file by email attachment by February 5, 2021, 5 p.m. ET to: canadiantheologicalsociety@gmail.com

 

We will confirm receipt of all proposals submitted by email.  If you do not receive such an email confirmation within three days of submitting your proposal, contact Jean-Pierre Fortin at jeanpierre.fortin@utoronto.ca.

 

If you submitted a proposal for the 2020 CTS Conference which was approved by the Selection Committee, please do not submit a new proposal for the 2021 CTS Conference. Presenters will be allowed to give only one paper.

 

Selection Criteria

In selecting proposals for 8-10 min presentations or for panels, the committee will consider:

• The clarity and significance of the proposal;
• The quality of the contribution to scholarship;
• The relationship of the presentation to the thematic focus of the annual meeting;
• The contribution of the presentation to a diversity of perspectives and approaches;
• The potential for inspiring discussion and engagement among the members.

 

Our goal as a Society is to foster collegial discussion of members’ work and of the work of other Canadian theologians. All presenters and attendees are encouraged to participate in as much of the program as possible. All presenters must be members in good standing of the CTS prior to the Annual Meeting. We welcome all members, students, and other interested persons to join us this year.

https://huronatwestern.ca/job-board/probationary-tenure-track-appointment-systematic-theology/

 

Atlantic School of Theology in Halifax, Nova Scotia, intends to hire two new tenure-track faculty members at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, to commence in summer 2021 (date negotiable). One of the positions is in Biblical Studies, the other in Pastoral Theology. To fulfill statutory requirements, one (1.0 FTE) of the two appointments must be filled by a Roman Catholic.

 

In addition, to allow some flexibility around local needs for institutional fit and global demands related to the pandemic, each position may be filled either by one full-time appointment, or two half-time appointments. All finalists will be expected to come to Halifax for on-campus interviews, public health requirements permitting; however, only full-time appointments would be expected to relocate to Halifax. Half-time appointments could be remote positions.

 

Applicants to the position in Biblical Studies should specialize in New Testament or Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and should have a strong secondary competence and ability to teach in at least one other relevant theological discipline.

Dignity, Equity and Justice Committee

Canadian Theological Society

 

Invitation for New Committee Members

 

Christianity in Canada is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual reality. Theological teaching and research in the Canadian context should ideally celebrate the dignity of multiple different ways of living, experiencing and embodying Christian faith, as well as different theological epistemologies. The Dignity, Equity and Justice Committee of the Canadian Theological Society is seeking CTS members–particularly those from historically marginalized and minoritized communities–who want to re-envision theological work in Canada to reflect the full reality of Canadian Christianity. The committee will assist and advise the CTS membership and its executive to open new, safer spaces for diverse theological voices, and to identify critical tools in the Society for strengthening our practices of scholarly enquiry, programming, publication, networking and professional formation. A more specific mandate and desired outcomes will be articulated through a process of collaboration and shared discernment in our first year. We anticipate that membership in the committee will entail a commitment of at least 2 virtual or in-person meetings a year, though this too will be subject to the discernment of committee members.

 

If you are interested in joining or have any questions, please contact the committee’s interim secretary, Reid B. Locklin (reid.locklin@utoronto.ca), preferably no later than 15 November 2020.

Call for Papers 

 

We are looking to publish academic articles based upon the presentations given at the annual meeting of the Canadian Theological Society at UBC in June 2019. The journal, Religious Studies and Theology, has agreed to publish peer-reviewed essays based upon this past year’s Congress theme, “Circles of Conversation.” We invite all scholarly papers which pertain to the public character of Theology in Canada in which “circles of conversation” are widening. We especially seek papers which engage disciplines beyond theology and audiences or conversation partners beyond the church.

 

Please note that not all submissions will be retained: the essays will be submitted for external peer review and assembled into a cohesive selection of original reflections on the proposed theme. This volume does not represent proceedings of the conference, but rather will consist of scholarly essays in which nascent ideas have come to fruition and critical commentary that may have been engendered in the CTS meeting is addressed. We also solicit papers that were not presented at the Annual Meeting, but which speak to the theme.

 

Articles are to be 3000–6000 words in length and must include an Abstract of approximately 150 words. Further details about the submission process can be found at: https://journals.equinoxpub.com/RST/about/submissions

 

Please let us know if you have any questions. If you wish to submit your essay, please let us know by October 15, 2019. Submissions of final essays is due May 1, 2020 for a publication in December 2020.

To members of the Canadian Theological Society

 

I hope that you, your families, and friends and colleagues are well, and managing in these uncertain and difficult times.

 

As you may know, the CFHSS (Canadian Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences), which organizes the annual Congress, recently decided that there will not be an in-person congress in 2020. Instead, the Federation has decided to move the Congress online.

 

The CTS Executive met on March 23 to discuss CTS participation in this year’s Congress and whether we should hold our annual conference. After much thoughtful discussion, the Executive decided that the CTS would not participate in the Congress, would cancel this year’s annual conference, but will have a short business meeting online later this year.

 

The Executive decided, moreover, that we will carry this year’s theme forward to next year, and that all the papers accepted for the 2020 Congress are automatically accepted for the 2021 Congress at the University of Alberta. An official list of these papers will be posted on the CTS website in few days with the help of the professionals in web maintenance from bestwebsitehosting.ca. We also decided to award the graduate student essay prize, and will offer our usual travel subsidies for those students who wish to present their papers in 2021.

 

There were many reasons for the Executive’s decision.

 

We believe that what makes our annual conference particularly valuable is the face-to-face contact, where we have creative formal and informal interaction, exchange of research, and networking. We believe that the proposed online format will not allow us to have this, and will impose additional burdens on many. And, besides, the need for ‘in person’ meeting is especially important given the conference theme of Bridging Divides: Confronting Colonialism and Anti-Black Racism.

 

We also recognize that this is a challenging time for many: that many find themselves under stress as they deal with new home and work and study environments; that, for many, their responsibilities have increased significantly; that many of our students are experiencing distress; and that it is not an easy time to read, to write, and to focus.

 

Further, a number of cognate societies, including several of the CCSR (Canadian Corporation for Studies in Religion), have decided already not to participate in this year’s Congress – and this, too, would certainly detract from the kind of exchange that normally occurs at the Congress.

 

To conform to requirements of being an incorporated society and to provide financial statements, executive reports, and related matters, to you, our members, we will, however, have an online AGM, with details to be determined in early May. You’ll hear more about this soon thereafter.

 

We appreciate that the Congress organisers are in a difficult situation, and that they are trying to do the best that they can in the circumstances. Nevertheless, the current and continuing stresses on potential participants, and our view that our annual conference is to be a place for the kind of exchange and discussion that an online medium cannot currently adequately accommodate, lead us to the conclusion we must suspend our conference this year.

 

On behalf of the CTS Executive, I send our best wishes and prayers to you and those close to you. We will stay in contact with you through the summer and in the coming year as we move through these times, and towards our conference next year in Edmonton.
