A CALL FOR PRESENTATIONSON “RELIGION, RACE, ANDCONTESTED GLOBALIZATION”

As western and westernizing nations have experienced

increased socio­cultural diversification, intersectionality,

and competition (within and across borders), this has been

accompanied by an intensification of domestic and

international conflict. This has manifested recently in

widespread mobilizations against immigrants and religious

minorities, including in 2016 electoral backlashes in the

U.S. and UK, and similar formative actions in France,

Austria, and Italy. Against this backdrop, and mindful of

increased vulnerability in­general by people of color within

these intersections and collisions, the 2017 Transatlantic

Roundtable on Religion and Race will be convened in

Washington, DC to focus on “Religion, Race, and

Contested Globalization.”

Please submit 150­250 word abstracts by February 15,2017 to Dr. R. Drew Smith (Pittsburgh TheologicalSeminary) [email protected] or Dr. William Ackah (Univ. of

The Transatlantic Roundtable on Religion and Race (TRRR) was founded in 2010 with theaim of bringing together scholars, religious leaders and community activists from across theAfrican diaspora and continent to facilitate dialogue, intellectual output, and activism in thecause of improving the lives of people of African heritage around the world. Though TRRR’sapproach is scholarly, its commitment is to advancing informed and progressive responses to

persistent racial problems in dialogue and collaboration with broad publics. Our 2017conference in Washington DC will be the seventh TRRR conference, following successfulconferences in Trinidad & Tobago (2016), the UK (2015 and 2012), South Africa (2014 and

2011) and Ghana (2013).
