SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: ‘YOUTHFUL SPACES OF BELIEF’
RGS –IBG Annual International Conference: London, 1st-3rd September 2010
Session Organiser: Peter Hemming (Brunel University)
Sponsored by the RGS-IBG Children, Youth and Families Research Group
Religion is currently on the social and political agenda like never before, and this development has been reflected through increasing interest in the Social Sciences. In Geography, the ‘new’ geographies of religion have gained in prominence (Kong 2001) and the issue of space has received greater attention from other disciplines (e.g. Knott 2005).
Scholars from within the sub-discipline of geographies of childhood and youth have also begun to consider the significance of religion in the spaces that shape the everyday lives of children and young people (e.g. Dwyer, Hemming, Hopkins, Olson). But the word ‘belief’ encompass much more than religion. It includes ethical, moral and political views that structure the lives of religious and non-religious children and young people alike. These perspectives often provide innovative ways of
thinking about and understanding contemporary global issues such as the environment and living with diversity. As such, beliefs and the way in which they intersect with space and place will be of central concern for both geographers and other researchers interested in children, youth and families.
Papers on youthful spaces of belief might include, but would not be limited to, any of the following interdisciplinary topics:
· The role of belief in constructing childhood and youth
· Influences of and influences on beliefs
· Religious education and education spaces
· Belief and spaces of inclusion/exclusion
· Communities of belief
· Social cohesion
· Emotional, affective and embodied aspects of belief
· Belief and social identity
· Intergenerational issues and home spaces
· Nationhood and belief
· Moral and ethical geographies
· New social movements
· Governing beliefs
· Transitions and the life course
· Innovative methods for researching childhood, youth and belief
Please send your proposed title, along with your name, affiliation, email address and abstract (max 250 words) to peter.hemming@brunel.ac.uk by Friday 5th February 2010.

Colloquio internazionale: L’ENGAGEMENT DES HOMMES POUR L’ÉGALITÉ DES SEXES
Colloque international 11/13 février 2010
L’ENGAGEMENT DES HOMMES POUR L’ÉGALITÉ DES SEXES
auditorium de la Grande galerie de l’évolution,Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 36 rue Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 75005 Paris
La difficulté à faire admettre l’égale valeur des deux sexes, puis l’égalité de leurs droits, a longtemps conduit à s’intéresser, d’un côté, aux actions des femmes pour améliorer le rapport des forces en leur faveur et, de l’autre, aux racines et aux manifestations de la misogynie masculine.
Le présent colloque voudrait aborder le problème d’un autre point de vue, afin de mettre en évidence une réalité aussi incontestable que mal connue : l’action des hommes qui, aux côtés des femmes féministes ou de leur propre chef, ont agi publiquement en vue de l’égalité. Qui sont ces hommes ? Pourquoi et comment se sont-ils désolidarisés de leur «groupe de sexe»?
Avec quelles conséquences ? Dans quels domaines ont-ils agi ? Au nomde quelles idées, de quels principes ? Quel a été leur rôle ? Quelles relations ont-ils entretenu avec les féministes?
Comment l’Histoire a-t-elle traité leur contribution au combat pour l’égalité ? Une réflexion plus globale sur l’engagement masculin en faveur de l’égalité des sexes est-elle désormais possible?
Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auxquelles ce colloque voudrait répondre, dans le double objectif de faire progresser les connaissances sur le féminisme, et de faire régresser les idées reçues sur l’a-historique et a-politique notion de « guerre des sexes ».

CFP: Muslim youth
The Eighth Nordic Conference on Middle Eastern Studies will take place in Bergen, Norway, 24-26 September 2010. The conference Middle Eastern Connectivities is organised by The Nordic Society for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies (NSM).
We are seeking papers for the panel:
Muslim Youth in Europe: “individualisation” and “secularization”?
This workshop encourages a critical assessment of current research perspectives on Muslim youth in Europe. Frequently, youth with migration background from a Muslim country are viewed as modernized and as expressing a ‘Muslimness’ which is a ‘new’ form of religiosity shaped by the European sphere. The recurrent impression is that Muslim youth has an individualized religious identity – often explained as a result of growing up in an individualised Europe. Muslims youth are consequently undergoing a ‘secularization’ process. Are these research perspectives a result of researches’ effort to ‘normalize’ Muslim youth, a misrepresentation of the research topic, or empirical ‘facts’? What factors are overlooked in such approaches? What alternative perspectives in the discussion of young Muslims and their religiosity in Europe can be promoted?
Both theoretical discussions as well as empirical founded papers are welcomed.
Please submit paper abstracts by March 15th 2010 to: bergen2010@smi.uib.no
For more information, see conference homepage: http://www.uib.no/smi/en/activities/conference-middle-eastern-connectivities

Forum on Religion: next seminars
Dear all,
Please join us next Thursday, 4 February, for the Forum on Religion Seminar on
'Live and Let Buy? Consumerism, Secularization and Liberalism'
-- Guy Ben-Porat, Department of Public Policy and Administration, Ben-Gurion University, Israel
Israel serves in this paper as a case study for examining the relationship between secularism based on "practices of everyday life" and "ideological" or "principled" secularism associated with, on the one hand, church-state separation and, on the other hand, liberal values of tolerance and equality. Given the monopoly of Orthodoxy over Jewish religious life, entrenched anti-liberal and ethnocentric attitudes in society, and various discriminatory practices towards minorities, Israel has been described as a "non-liberal democracy". In the last two decades, religion seems to lose some of its hold over public life, often interpreted as a liberalization of state and society. The proliferation of non-kosher restaurants and food shops, an annual crowd-drawing gay parade and rapidly growing commercial activity on Saturdays are all evidence of the secularization of the Israeli public sphere. However, while these developments are hard to ignore, it remains questionable, first, how deep the secularization of Israeli society really is, and, second, whether Israel is indeed moving away from its non-liberal character towards a liberal democracy, more committed to liberal values of tolerance and equality.
'Spiritualized Work, Recession and Self?'
-- John Cullen, Department of Business & Law at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth
What form of management is suggested by the increased interest in organizational spirituality and what genre of manager does spiritual learning attempt to construct? The growth of ‘organizational spirituality’ and its implications for management learning and development are considered in the context of Burgoyne’s (2002) outline of fourteen different styles of learning approaches and the types of ‘Self’ they seek to construct. Various approaches for understanding the self are explored, and a model for organizing these approaches, and the ‘Selves’ they imply, are presented. The increased spiritualization of organizational life and management are discussed. Spiritual management learning approaches are reviewed with the aim of clarifying a new, spiritualized form (or genre) of managerial self, which the discourse of organizational spirituality appears to seek.
The seminar will take place from 5:30-7pm in the Cañada Blanch Room (J116), Cowdray House, Portugal Street, London WC2A 2AE (Find the ‘J’ building on this map: http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/mapsAndDirections/findingYourWayAroundLSE.htm)
NEXT FORUM ON RELIGION SEMINARS:
4 March -- 'Intolerance and Persecution of Religious Deviance Within Islam: The Case of the Ahmadiyya Community in Indonesia'
-- John Sidel, Department of Government, LSE
The study of religion includes a rich literature on intolerance and persecution of religious deviance in Christianity, but very little in the context of Islam. This lacuna is especially striking and unfortunate, given the prevalent perceptions in the West of Islam as a faith which is particularly strict in its interpretation and application of religious doctrine. Against this backdrop, Professor Sidel's lecture is intended to subject patterns of religious intolerance and persecution within Islam to comparative analysis and theoretical illumination, situating the case of attacks on Ahmadiyya communities and 'deviant sects' (aliran sesat) in Indonesia since 2005 against a broader history of religious violence in the country and beyond.
6 May -- Seminar on Muslim identities:
Muslim identity in the British educational landscape (tentative title) -- Malik Ajani, Royal Holloway, University of London
Integration patterns and Bosnian Muslim identity in New England (tentative title) -- Kristen Lucken, Boston University
3 June -- Seminar on religion, immigration and the far right:
'Home-grown terror, anti-Muslimism and the politics of fear: the rise of the British National Party' -- Christopher Allen, University of Birmingham
'Religion, securitization and anti-immigration attitudes: the case of Greece' -- Georgios Karyotis and Stratos Patrikios, University of Strathclyde

Two kinds of issues will be tackled by this pluridisciplinary colloquium:
1. How do the international organisations or the European nations take into account or mobilise the resources produced by several forms of interreligious dialogues, even by redefining them?
