Call for Papers for Spring conference at UCLA

performance art, religion and spirituality, or law. Abstracts or
descriptions of the presentations should be no longer than 250 words and

option of submitting, at a later date, copies of their presentations to be

Eligibility: Although we strongly encourage graduate students, we also
welcome submissions from undergraduates, professionals, post-doctoral
researchers, lecturers, professors, activists, and practitioners. Papers and
