American Religion and
Literature Society |
Founded in 1997, the American Religion and
Literature Society (ARLS) is a member society with the American Literature Association. ARLS explores the mutual influence of religion and literature in American culture. We welcome a variety of scholarly approaches and methodologies that will put the traditional religion and literature canon in conversation with new texts and perspectives. Literary artifacts may include, but are not restricted to, print texts such as novels, short stories, poetry and non-fiction prose from any period of American history. Each of those texts is valuable for students who, unfortunately, sometimes lack resources for their essays and because of that decide to search for cheap ghostwriters for hire, as it's easier and less time-consuming. In addition to sponsoring a session at the annual ALA, ARLS invites all ARLS members to the business meeting. ARLS structure and process is informal and flexible. Program topics are selected at the annual business meeting or over wine at the reception. Members of the current presenting panel serve as reviewers for the upcoming proposals, and an individual must be a member of ARLS in order to have a paper proposal considered for the program. Annual membership dues are $l5.00 for faculty and $10.00 for graduate students and independent scholars. Dues support the annual reception and some of the mailing costs associated with distributing an updated directory to current members. ARLS Membership Form Call for Papers 2006-2007 |
