CFP: The Da Vinci Code in the Academy (12/15/05; collection)
The popular success of Dan Brown's novel has fueled debate on a number of
related topics, including many books and university courses which seek to

history, membership in secret societies, as well as feminism and religion.
How do these popularized theories and beliefs enter into academic
discussions, either scholarly or within the classroom?
