Co-Sponsorship In-person November Annual Meeting 2026

CO-SPONSORSHIP: Japanese Religions Unit and Religion, Film, and Visual Culture Unit

Call for Proposals

Visual culture in Japanese religion (for cosponsorship with Religion, Film and Visual Culture Unit). We seek proposals that explore the religious context of Japanese film, television, anime, and popular culture. We would also like proposals that show how visual culture has been employed in religious contexts, such as imagery, maps, illustrations, iconography, and collectibles. How do these contexts intersect and co-construct each other? Contact person: Mark MacWilliams (mmacwilliams@stlawu.edu)
