Society for the Study of Theology

Call for conference seminar papers—CLOSED

Proposals for seminar papers not on the conference theme are invited from members and non-members attending the conference. The seminars focus on particular areas or subdisciplines of theology and continue over a number of years. Papers should be delivered in a maximum of 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes' discussion, and should be no more than 2000 words in length.


The deadline for receipt of proposals is 26 JANUARY 2012. To submit a proposal, please e-mail the appropriate convenor with the following information:



1. Name

2. Institution (if any)

3. Title

4. Brief abstract (about 200 words)

5. Any audiovisual equipment needs



The seminars and their convenors are:

Church, Theology and Ministry: Julie Gittoes (e-mail juliegittoes@googlemail.com)

Doctrine after Christendom: Tom Greggs (e-mail t.greggs@abdn.ac.uk)

The convenor will notify you by e-mail (to the address from which you applied) whether your proposal has been accepted by 31 January. This is in order to give you time to book and pay before the early booking rate deadline if your conference attendance depends on your proposal being accepted.


Proposals for short papers on the conference theme are also invited. More slots are available for these papers than for seminar papers. Click here for further details


Only one paper proposal may be submitted, either to one seminar or for a short paper. In the event of a shortage of good proposals to a seminar, proposals submitted to other seminars or for a short paper will be considered for that seminar.
