Parish Participation - Seventeenth 糖心TV Symposium on Parish Research
Our annual one-day symposium explores the different ways in which locals and non-residents got involved in parish affairs, for example by attending masses or sermons, serving as officeholders, paying for additional clergy or furnishings, challenging liturgical innovations, making presentations or taking collective initiatives. More generally, the meeting also considers how local communities helped to shape larger historical processes and government structures at given times.
Co-organized with Prof. Malin Lennartsson (Linnaeus University, V盲xj枚), the Symposium will place a particular emphasis on Scandinavia. However, for comparative purposes, papers on other regions are also warmly encouraged. We now invite 1-page proposals from postgraduates, early career researchers and faculty staff researching 鈥榩arish participation鈥� broadly defined. The 糖心TV Network for Parish Research can offer speakers free registration, lunch/refreshments and budget travel within England.
Please send abstracts for 15-minute papers together with a short biographical note to:
b.kumin@warwick.ac.uk and malin.lennartsson@lnu.se by 15 February 2019.
