Subject:Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies

Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies is inaugurating a series of  
conferences on the subject of "Zoroastrianism". These will be held  
every four years at the University of Oxford. The first in the series  
will take place in 2010 and explore how "Zoroastrianism in the Levant"  
interacted with Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Gnosticism and ancient  
Near Eastern non-biblical religions. Other papers on Zoroastrianism  
outside the Levant may be accepted if they include elements relevant  
to the main theme of the meeting.

Scholars are invited to submit papers in one of two categories:
1.	Academic research in a paper allotted 45 minutes including  
discussion.
2.	Short academic interventions presenting work in progress or brief  
notes on the subject lasting 25 minutes including discussion.

Aram Society will form a scientific advisory committee to help with  
the organisation of the conference and the editing of conference  
proceedings for publication. We will confirm that we have received  
your proposal on receipt of an abstract that should include the main  
sources consulted for the paper and the time needed to deliver the  
communication. In order to allow for discussion participants should  
speak for 35 or 20 minutes.

Papers will be accepted from accredited academics in the field and  
please note that the committee will be very strict in only accepting  
papers relevant to the conference theme. Finally the organising  
committee reserves the right to reduce the length of a paper if  
necessary and all papers submitted for publication are accepted  
subject to peer review.

All queries should be addressed to the conference secretary Dr Shafiq  
Abouzayd:
