About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

The AAR Annual Meetings: 2019 American Academy of Religion Annual Meeting
San Diego, California, USA, November 23-26, 2019
The deadline for the Call for Proposals is Monday, March 4, 2019, 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

The International Development and Religion Unit invites proposals for individual papers and panels that address the intersection of international development and religion, broadly conceived. For the 2019 Annual Meeting, where the Presidential Theme is “Religion and Public Life,” we especially invite proposals that critically examine:

● the historical relationship between religion(s) and humanitarian aid;
● the so-called ‘triple nexus’ of integrated humanitarian/development/peace as it engages religious partners both in the field and in donor countries/communities;
● humanitarian aid’s increase attention to the localization agenda and its engagement with religious partners in the developing world?

As always, the programming unit encourages proposals from practitioner and scholars of international development and religion, and particularly encourages proposals from the global south. Although in person presentations are preferred, provisions can be made for presentations through video conferencing technology.
