Vilnius, Lithuania — 25-28 June 2025
ENSIE is again organising panels for the biannual conference of ESSWE,
which in 2025 will be at Vilnius University in Lithuania, Thursday June
26 to Saturday June 28. The theme of the ESSWE conference is "Esotericism and Rationality."
Proposals are therefore invited for papers dealing with any aspect of
Islam, esotericism, and rationality. As ESSWE is also inviting
reflections on the past research that the study of esotericism has
undertaken and its evolution, proposals are also invited for papers that
reflect on the past research that the study of Islam and esotericism
has undertaken and on its evolution and the diverse methodological paths
it has explored over the years. ENSIE will then assemble proposals for
papers into proposals for ENSIE sessions, and forward these to ESSWE.
Each session will have three to four papers.
ENSIE will also be
holding an additional ENSIE workshop with round tables purely for ENSIE
members in conjunction with the ESSWE conference, on Wednesday June 25,
also at Vilnius University. This will follow the overall aims of ENSIE,
not just the ESSWE theme.
Proposals for ESSWE panels and/or the ENSIE workshop should be submitted by 15 December 2024 to esswe10@ensie.site.
It is possible to participate in both events, but only one paper may be
submitted for each one. Please include name, title, and institutional
affiliation, and then 3-5 keywords and, for paper proposals, a title and
an abstract of no more than 300 words.
