Proposals for paper presentations, workshops, or colloquia are invited for the Third International Conference on Religion and Spirituality in Society to be held 8-9 March 2013 at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, USA.

We also encourage faculty and students to submit joint proposals for paper presentations or colloquia.
Presenters may also choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed International Journal of Religion and Spirituality in Society. If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit an article based on your presentation for possible publication in this fully refereed academic journal.
The deadline for the current round of submissions to the conference Call for Papers (a title and short abstract) is 3 January 2013. For more information about submitting your proposal or registering for the conference, visit the conference website.

Publishing
Announcing: Hybrid Open Access
Common Ground Journals are now offered on a Hybrid Open Access model. This is a new development in scholarly publishing, increasingly offered by both university presses and well-known commercial publishers. Hybrid Open Access means that some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. They may do this because open access is a requirement of their research funding agency. Or they may do it so that non-subscribers can access their article for free. There are still considerable benefits for paying subscribers, because they can access all articles in the journal, from both current and past volumes, without any restrictions. But making your paper available at no charge increases its visibility, accessibility and thus potential readership. Click here for more information.
Call for Peer Reviewers
Common Ground Publishing is looking for academics and professors to volunteer as peer reviewers for our book series. Each volunteer will be placed into a pool of subject matter experts and we will contact you when there is a book that is suited for your area of expertise. For examples of the types of books we publish, please visit: http://religioninsociety.cgpublisher.com/.
Please forward your resume or CV to books@commongroundpublishing.com with the subject line "Book Reviewer" followed by the knowledge community for which you would like to review.
