Conversion narratives: ASEEES 2013

[James West]

Jesse:  just wondering if you’d be interested in a paper on the narrative (and the issue) of conversion in Leskov’s Na kraiu sveta?  It’s a strange novel that focuses on the efforts of a zealous bishop to energize the conversion efforts of Orthodox priests in Siberia, and has him finally reappraising the whole business of conversion, concluding that orthodoxy and evangelism do not really go together, at least not in the Siberian context.  Let me know if this sounds like suitable material for your panel.

Dear Colleagues: 

We are looking for one more presenter for a panel on conversion narratives for ASEEES 2013.  Although an earlier CFP for this panel asked for papers focusing specifically on the 19th Century, we are now accepting papers that treat narratives of religious conversion during any era.

If you are interested, please respond off-list (jstavis at wisc.edu) as soon as possible.

Thank you,
