Call For Papers
Religion & Theatre Focus Group – Emerging Scholars Panel
Association for Theater in Higher Education (ATHE) 2025 Conference
This years conference is virtual
July 28 – Aug. 1, 2025 General Conference
The ATHE Religion and Theatre Focus group invites current graduate students and/or independent scholars who have not presented at a major national conference to submit papers for the 2025 Emerging Scholars Panel.
The 2025 Conference Theme:
The Real
The binary opposition between “real” and “virtual” is ever more outdated and unnecessary. Theatre and performance has always been both real and representation. ATHE 2025: The Real invites us to consider the real effects of a virtual conference.

In Extinction Studies: Stories of Time, Death, and Generations, Deborah Bird Rose, Thom van Dooren, and Matthew Chrulew insist that capturing the breadth of a disaster of this scale is “an inherently interdisciplinary task, one that draws us into conversation with a host of different ways of making sense of others’ world” (4). To portray this polycrisis as too large to be contained to one discipline is apt, with credible estimates designating between one- and two-thirds of species on earth as “likely to disappear within the foreseeable future” (Myers et al., 856).

The intersection between crises and selves has long been a fertile ground across literary and artistic explorations. This CFP invites papers that examine how individual and collective crises—ranging from pandemics, ecological disasters, and political upheavals to personal and generational trauma—have shaped the articulation of selfhood across literature, film, visual art, and other media. Through this topic, we urge scholars to explore how various identity positions and orientations interact with crises to produce unique modes of writing the self. 

Education systems worldwide are undergoing significant transformations driven by globalization, technological advancements, and evolving societal needs. Exploring global best practices in education offers valuable insights into strategies that enhance teaching effectiveness, student engagement, and institutional excellence. This international conference aims to bring together educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to share and learn from exemplary educational practices that have proven successful in diverse cultural and institutional contexts.

Objectives

1. To identify and analyze global best practices in education that enhance learning outcomes.

What can books teach us about character? The people in literary works face moral dilemmas—choosing between personal gain and doing the right thing, whatever the consequences. Fictional heroes often explore the boundaries of character, asking us which traits we deem noble. The same choices and internal struggles appear in nonfiction works such as biographies or histories, deepened by the impact of character on the real world. Looking at character in books helps us stay true to our values, even in the most threatening of circumstances. By immersing ourselves in the stories of others—be they true or imagined—we develop a stronger moral compass and a deeper understanding of how to live with character.

The Elizabeth Madox Roberts Society seeks proposals for a roundtable discussion at the next meeting of SSAWW, held in Philadelphia from November 6-9, 2025.  The theme of this year’s SSAWW is “Understanding Histories, Imagining Futures: 25 Years of SSAWW.”  With this theme in mind, our roundtable is titled “The History and Future of Author Societies.”  The roundtable will ideally consist of participants from various author societies, who will discuss anticipated changes and relevance for author societies, talking about both their histories and their imagined futures.  We imagine this roundtable will examine many of the important elements highlighted in the call for papers for the conference, including the way that author societies create communities to “en
