Symposium on Women, Families and Religiosity: Past and Present
IAS Bucharest, 25-26 March 2011
Dear Colleagues,
We propose to organize a symposium about Women, Families and Religiosity: Past and Present. For it we have the generous support of New Europe College –
Institute for Advanced Study in Bucharest (www.nec.ro<http://www.nec.ro> <http://www.nec.ro/> ), which will also be the host of the symposium. In agreement with
New Europe College we have scheduled this symposium on 25-26 March 2011.
We would like to bring together a number of scholars (historians, sociologists, anthropologists etc.) who work on such questions, and who would also make possible a
comparative view, by addressing different Balkan ‘confessional’ families.
Here are some themes for reflection:
– Families and Churches
– Domestic violence: rules and practices
– Women in the Families: daughters, wives and widows
– From God to Godparents: spiritual kinship and solidarities
It is a great honor for us to invite you to take part in this event. Please let us to know if you are interested to be among the participants.
Those who would like to present a paper are invited to submit a title and a short abstract, accompanied by a CV & publication list by 1 November 2010.
Please email this information to the organisers: Constanta Vintila-Ghitulescu- Senior Researcher, ‘Nicolae Iorga’ Institute of History; e-mail: cghitulescu@gmail.com
