The theme for the 2023 American Society of Church History annual meeting is Experimentation. The Program Committee seeks proposals that think creatively about experimentation and its significance throughout the history of Christianity. As experiments have often occurred at the boundaries, physical and social, of imperial spaces, we especially encourage panels that explore experimentation as understood and undertaken among oppressed, disadvantaged, or otherwise marginal communities. We especially welcome submissions from scholars of the ancient and medieval world. 

We solicit four types of proposals: regular panels, roundtables, experimental sessions, and individual papers. Proposals from the following periods and categories, inter alia, are welcomed:

1)   Early Christianity and Patristics

2)   Medieval and Byzantine Period

3)   Reformation and Early Modern Atlantic World

4)   Africa and the African Diaspora

5)   American: Colonial to 20th Century

6)   Latinx and Latin American

7)   World Christianities

8)   Religious Philadelphia

The regular ASCH deadline for proposals is March 15, 2022. Proposals seeking joint sponsorship between ASCH and the American Catholic Historical Association should indicate this desire during the submission process by checking the appropriate box. We will not be co-sponsoring any panels with the American Historical Association this year.

You can also find the call for papers, along with submission information, at: Annual Meeting 2023 - American Society of Church History
