Dear Colleagues, Please find below the Jain Studies Unit’s call for proposals for the 2024 AAR. Best wishes, Ana and Greg *Call for Proposals for November Meeting* The Jain Studies Unit welcomes suggestions for panel ideas to be included in the AAR 2024 Call for Papers. If you would like to add your idea to the CFP, or if you have any questions, please send a short provisional title of your topic to one (or both) of the Jain Studies co-chairs, Gregory Clines ( [email protected]) and/or Ana Bajzelj ([email protected]). We especially welcome suggestions for panels to be co-sponsored with other units and for panels that address the 2024 Annual Meeting’s Presidential Theme: “Violence, Nonviolence, and the Margin.” Finally, the Jain Studies Unit encourages proposals to include voices that are diverse in terms of race, caste, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, age, socioeconomic status, geographic region, professional rank, and institutional affiliation. Please note that the Jain Studies Unit only accepts proposals for complete panels, roundtables, book discussions, etc. and does not accept individual papers. This is true for both the online Summer Session and the in-person annual meeting. The following are proposed panel titles with contact information as of Dec. 11, 2023. If interested, please contact the listed person(s) directly. Additional panel proposals are welcomed.
