Call For Papers

Moral Theology Topic Session

Administrative Team: Lisa Sowle Cahill (2013 coordinator), Nancy Rourke, Daniel J. Daly

The Moral Theology Topic Session invites proposals for papers reflecting on the 2012 CTSA convention theme “Conversion,” or on a topic of particular interest to you. Moral theology has two sessions. At least one of our sessions will be devoted to the convention theme.

Proposals for individual papers (which would be matched with one other for a session), or for panel presentations (no more than three panelists) on a unified topic, are welcome. Presenters must ordinarily be members of the CTSA in good standing.

Proposals should be between 200-500 words and include the author’s name, institution and contact information. Proposals should include a short bibliography. Deadline for submission is September 1, 2012. Notification of acceptance for presentation will be given by September 24, 2012. Please articulate in the proposal any audio-visual support required. Authors of accepted papers must submit a 100 word abstract of the paper by October 5. Please respect the CTSA policy that limits presenters to one speaking role (presenter or respondent) on the convention program. If a role as convener or moderator would help you secure travel financing, should your paper not be selected, please so indicate on your proposal.

Please send the proposals to Lisa Sowle Cahill at: lisa.cahill@bc.edu.
