2012 CALL FOR PAPERS
The third annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Muslim Ethics will be held January 4-8, 2012, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C.
We invite paper proposals dealing with any aspect of Muslim ethics. In light of recent events, we particularly welcome proposals in political ethics, dealing with such topics as good governance, democracy, human rights, the right of rebellion, and constitutionalism. Topics may be theoretical or applied, historical or contemporary, textual or philosophical. Sessions are 90 minutes long and consist of a single presenter or panels of up to three speakers, including a discussant. The goal of SSME sessions is to maximize the opportunity for discussion.
Proposals for a single presenter should include the following:
• contact information of presenter (name, institutional affiliation, phone numbers, and e-mail address)
• tentative title
• abstract (500 word minimum, 600 maximum)
• selected bibliography
Proposals for panels should include a list of all panelists, including the convenor and discussant (if any), contact information for all panelists, and the tentative title, abstract, and selected bibliography of the papers to be presented.
Proposals should be sent by e-mail to:
Sohail Hashmi
Chair, Program Committee
