COLLOQUIUM ANNOUNCEMENT
The complex interface between the Sociology of Language and Religion
will be the theme of a colloquium scheduled to hold at the University of
Surrey Roehampton in London from June 20 to 22, 2002.

Such a colloquium has become necessary in the light of the debates
surrounding issues of ideology and identity triggered by language and
religion in different parts of the world in recent times. The various
discourses that have emerged around the aeroblasting of the World Trade
Centre and The Pentagon in New York and Washington DC respectively give
sanction to these discussions. We recognise this  to be an
interdisciplinary project, and therefore expect that the theoretical and
methodological arguments which will drive the discussions will be
diverse.

Twenty-four scholars drawn from around the world will lead these
discussions which cover several faiths (Christianity, Judaism, Islam,
Bahai, Hinduism, Buddhism and African Traditional Religions among
others) and languages. The lead discussants include eminent names like
Joshua Fishman (Stanford/Yeshiva), John Joseph (Edinburgh), Yasir
Suleiman (Edinburgh), Rajeshwari Pandariphande (Urbana), Muhammad Amara
(Bar-Ilan), Phyllis Chew (NIE Singapore), Hans-georg Wolf (Humboldt),
Efurosibina Adegbija (Ilorin), Anya Woods (Monash), and Nkonko
Kamwangamalu (Natal).

Registration details for this colloquium will be posted shortly on the
University of Surrey Roehampton website. In the meantime, interested
colleagues may contact me directly at t.omoniyi at roehampton.ac.uk.
