<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif, serif, EmojiFont;">The American Academy of Religion’s <i>Mahâbhârata</i> and Classical Hinduism Seminar requests proposals for papers. The American Academy of Religion will hold its Annual Meeting November
19-22, in Denver, Colorado.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif, serif, EmojiFont;">The Seminar’s had a very successful first year in 2021. Our call for papers for the second year addresses new methodologies and interpretive strategies, including approaches emphasizing
gender studies, critical race theory, linguistic analysis, ethics, and comparison with the field of Biblical criticism, as well as new tools and resources for the study of the <i>Mahâbhârata</i>. We also encourage proposals in response to the AAR’s 2022 Presidential
Theme: Religion and Catastrophe, including climate change. In an effort to encourage diversity in seminar participants, those who presented papers in our 2021 meeting are unlikely to have proposals accepted for the 2022 meeting. We seek to include the best
proposals we receive.</span></p>
