2023 ACHTUS Colloquium
NOPSI Hotel, New Orleans
June 4-7, 2023
Call for papers, posters, and conveners below.
Our Colloquium’s Theme
“Empire” is a theme that has been threading its way through the work of theologians and scholars of religion. Our colloquium welcomes papers about the complex legacies of hegemonic political powers, both ancient and modern, and their legacies in Latiné and Latin American theology. The term Latiné was selected on the advice of members as the best term to encompass U.S. Hispanic, Latinx, mujerista, Chican@, persons. The treatment of “empire” need not be limited to papers examining the legacies of historical empires or current political economic powers. Papers dealing with theological, philosophical, cultural, or ideological hegemonies, which hold a position of ascendancy or predominance, and could exclude or suppress rival ideas, both inside and outside the Catholic Church or Christian churches in general are welcome.
Colloquium Location and Dates
By extension, ACHTUS is hopeful that a delegation of colleagues from Caribbean Theology Today will come to New Orleans and present their work. This colloquium is intended to be the locus of an encuentro between ACHTUS and our Caribbean colleagues. We hope this will be the first step to develop a separate meeting between our two groups at a future date and time.
