ICRS 2013 - International Conference on Religious Studies (ICRS 2013)

The International Conference on Religious Studies (ICRS 2013) will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 15-16 July2013. Its main focus is the academic study of religion itself: its theories, its methods and above all its engagement in scientific, political and cultural strategies and conflicts. ICRS 2013 is the premier forum in South Asia for the presentation of new trends, advances and research results in the fields of Religious Studies.It will bring together leading academics, scientists and researchers from around the world.
Contemporary study of religions is a highly specialized field of science in which historical, sociological, psychological, political science, anthropological, esthetic, gender, culturological and philosophical knowledge of a set of specific human activities meet and are denominated under a general concept of "religions". The academic study of religions is a highly dynamic discipline with an enormous ability to absorb and utilize new theoretical and methodological procedures. This undoubtedly gives it hope to overcome the present state and to once again assume full scientific and social responsibility for its own development. The ICRS 2013 conference to be held in Colombo in August 2013 strives to assist this development.
We welcome individual paper presentations, panel sessions, round table discussions, performances, short films and posters.
Proceedings
All accepted papers will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee and other independent reviewers (where necessary) and will be published in the edited conference proceedings with ISSN number.
