Managing Editor/ Open Access Books in Theology, Religious Studies.
We are currently looking for candidates for Managing Editors for our Open Access Books program in Theology, Religious Studies, launched by Versita (www.versita.com).
Scholarly monographs and other book categories have been an important format of scholarly communication. For various reasons in the last decades they have faced significant challenges. We believe that Open Access may yield the best available solution for keeping academic monographs and other scholarly books alive. Open Access provides free and unrestricted online access to electronic books for all interested users. This model grows readership by hundreds or thousands of times versus the printed book. To cover the publication costs, we will charge a moderate fee to the institution supporting the author. However, for the first year or two we have decided to waive these fees, so we will neither charge the reader (or librarian) nor the author.
With over 250 Open Access journals in its portfolio Versita (www.versita.com) is one of the leading scholarly Open Access Publishers. Versita cooperates with Springer (www.springer.com) and in January 2012 the company was acquired by de Gruyter (www.degruyter.com), a prominent scholarly publisher with a 260-year history.
IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
Ideal candidates should hold a PhD in the above mentioned discipline and have experience in both conducting research and teaching. They should have sufficient time available to complete their duties. Editorial experience is not required. Candidates must speak native or fluent English, be proficient in using computers, and have constant access to Internet.
BRIEF JOB DESCRIPTION
The Managing Editor’s chief responsibility is launching a program for the publication of scholarly books in Open Access model in the above mentioned discipline. The Managing Editor solicits and evaluates book proposals submitted by authors from around the world and coordinates work of other editors who solicit books in their discipline. The Managing Editor is also expected to cooperate with authors, reviewers and copy editors.
WHAT WE OFFER IN RETURN
Compensation is based on the number of books published under Managing Editor’s supervision. You will get a chance to combine publishing activities with academic and pedagogic work and have a unique opportunity to acquire experience in and understanding of professional scientific publishing while taking part in a pioneering project in a dynamically developing company.
If you are interested in this position, please send a cover letter and a CV (both documents in English) to hr12@versita.com with “Managing Editor, Theology, Religious Studies” as your subject line.

Versita offers its authors:
• fair and comprehensive peer-review of submitted proposals and manuscripts, English language copy-editing by native English speaking specialists in the field (in some subject areas we accept also manuscripts in other languages)
• professional composition of the manuscript in PDF format

SCHOLARSHIPS
Guest Scholarships 2012 CRC 933 “Material Text Cultures”
The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 933 “Material Text Cultures. Materiality and Presence
of Writing in Non-Typographic Societies” has been established by the German Research Founda
tion in July 2011 at Heidelberg University (collaborating partner: College of Jewish Studies, Hei
delberg). Researchers working in the field of cultural studies will investigate the material presence of writing in “non-typographic societies” that do not possess any or any widespread methods for the mass production of writing. Based on this investigation, those receptive practices are presented which in all probability took place at the writing due to its material presence. The ‘material text cultures’ thus identified in non-typographical societies will then be systematically described and compared with those of typographical societies. The fundamental research by the CRC 933 “Material Text Cultures” on text-bearing artefacts, especially those of the circum-Mediterranean zone, will be performed within a conceptual framework that has been developed from recent approaches in cultural studies.
The Research Training Group „Text Anthropology“ of the CRC 933 is now looking for guest graduate students with outstanding qualifications who can show that participating in the interdisciplinary research of the CRC 933 “Material Text Cultures” will be beneficial to their doctoral project and to the CRC 933. The Research Training Group offers a monthly scholarship of 1.250 Euros starting on October 1st 2012. Furthermore, it supports scholarship holders in offering graduate courses and individual mentoring. The scholarship is granted for one year.
Applicants, who should hold an M.A. or equivalent in a discipline of the humanities with an above-
average grade, should send their written applications (including a CV, a letter of intent, a project proposal and a letter of recommendation from their supervisor) with reference to “CRC 933” by July 15th 2012 at the latest to SFB 933 „Materiale Textkulturen“, Heidelberg Zentrum Kulturelles Erbe, Marstallstraße 6, 69117 Heidelberg/Germany. We regret that we cannot return application documents sent to us by regular mail. Details may be requested at danijel.cubelic@zegk.uni-heidelberg.de.
The University of Heidelberg actively seeks to raise the proportion of female employees in all previously under-represented areas. In keeping with this, applications are particularly requested from women with the appropriate qualifications. In the case of equal qualifications, severely disabled persons will receive priority.

Call for Papers
Demons and Illness: Theory and Practice from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period
Centre for Medical History, University of Exeter
22 – 24th April 2013
In many near eastern traditions, demons appear as a cause of illness: most famously in the stories of possessed people cured by Christ. These traditions influenced perceptions of illness in Judaism, Christianity and Islam in later centuries but the ways in which these cultures viewed demons and illness have received comparatively little attention. For example, who were these demons? How did they cause illness? Why did they want to? How did demons fit into other explanations for illness? How could demonic illnesses be cured and how did this relate to other kinds of cure? How far did medical or philosophical theory affect how people responded to demonic illnesses in practice?
This conference will take a comparative approach, taking a wide geographical and chronological sweep but confining itself to this relatively specific set of questions. Because Jewish, Christian and Islamic ideas about demons and illness drew on a similar heritage of ancient religious texts from New Testament times to the early modern period there is real scope to draw meaningful comparisons between the different periods and cultures. What were the common assumptions made by different societies? When and why did they differ? What was the relationship between theory and practice? We would welcome papers which address these issues for any period between antiquity and the early modern period, and which discuss Christian, Jewish or Islamic traditions.
The conference is hosted by the Centre for Medical History at the University of Exeter, on April 22nd-24th, 2013. Please send abstracts by 15th September 2012 to the conference organizers, Catherine Rider and Siam Bhayro, Centre for Medical History, University of Exeter: email c.r.rider@exeter.ac.uk or s.bhayro@exeter.ac.uk.
The Board of Editors of the interdisciplinary journal Quaderni di Studi Indo-Mediterranei
(http://www2.lingue.unibo.it/studi indo-mediterranei/ ; (http://qusim.arts.ubc.ca/)
is soliciting contributions to its sixth thematic volume, scheduled to appear in 2013.
This issue will contain twelve to fifteen essays addressing the theme of the cultural
and religious interactions between Hebraism, Christianity and Islam.
The “Three Rings” parable, known in Western culture mainly through Boccaccio’s
novella in the Decameron and Lessing’s Nathan der Weise, has been subject to research
for a hundred years or so. Some scholars have argued that the parable originated in
Spain, but its exact source remains unknown. In any case, the emergence and
development of his suggestive message, including the eight and sixteenth centuries,
evidently origins in the Mediterranean context of intercultural and inter-religious
relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims.
In particular, Western esotericism has been characterised as the combination of
Alexandrian Hermeticism, Neo-Platonism and related religious philosophies of late
antiquity and the traces each has left in the three Abrahamic religions. For this
process, very important was the uninterrupted translation of texts between Arabic,
Latin and Hebrew languages. Still today these three Mediterranean cultures are mixed
together in narrow and interesting plots.
All aspects of the cultural connections between Hebraism, Christianity and Islam in
history of religions, theology, philosophy, mysticism, esotericism, literature, visual
arts, music and folklore are welcome.
Please send proposals for essays (250 to 350 words) accompanied by a bio-
bibliographical sketch to Alessandro Grossato (alessandro.grossato@lett.unitn.it), by
September 30, 2012.
Quaderni di Studi Indo-Mediterranei accepts proposals and essays in all major European
languages. The editors of the volume will strive for a balanced and diversified table of
contents. They will confirm accepted submissions by December 2, 2012.
Subsequently, the final deadline for submitting the completed essays will be June 1,
- The average length recommended for each contribution is of 6,000 words, with
a maximum length allowed of 7,000 words, including footnotes and bibliographical
references.
The journal Quaderni di Studi Indo-Mediterranei is based at the University of Bologna,
Italy, and is supported by ASTREA (Associazione di Studi e Ricerche Euro-
Asiatiche). Editor in Chief: Carlo Saccone; Board of Editors: Daniela Boccassini,

THE UNIQUENESS OF SPIRITUAL CARE
Making the spiritual real: from research into training and practice
The challenge for all mental health services is to integrate spiritual care within care
planning in order that those who use the services receive true holistic care. Using a
combination of training, research and care planning Nigel will outline a research
project he has undertaken in partnership with nurses to deliver high quality spiritual
care. It is his belief that those of us engaged in delivering spiritual care need to base
all provision of care upon the foundation of robust research. He will outline the
model of research that he believes to be appropriate for researching the effectiveness
of spiritual care.
DR NIGEL COPSEY is the Team Leader for Spiritual Care in the East London
Foundation Trust and Surrey and Borders Partnership Foundation Trust. He has
published two research papers in the field of psychiatry and mental health for
the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health. He has also contributed to a number of
psychotherapy publications in the area of spirituality and mental health. Nigel is a
visiting lecturer at several London Universities as well as being a Programme
Leader in the psychology department of UEL. Nigel is an Anglican priest and an
accredited psychotherapist.

A QUESTION OF RELIGION: YOUNG PEOPLE and identity IN CONTEMPORARY MULTI-FAITH BRITAIN
Friday, 29th June 2012
10.30am – 4.30pm
MS114, Mary Seacole Building, Brunel University
Chair: Professor Judith Harwin, Centre for Child and Youth Research, Brunel University
10.30 – 10.50 Refreshments
10.50 – 11.00 Welcome to the seminar!
11.00 – 11.50 Young British Muslims finding their voice: from alienation to engagement
Dr Philip Lewis, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford
Young British Muslims are developing the confidence to engage British society and make the most of the institutional spaces opening up in which they can participate. This paper explores some of the encouraging debates now being heard – not least British Muslims contributing ‘Islamically’ to debates within education, social services and chaplaincy. It also addresses how intergenerational tensions are being played out by referring to a seismic political change in Bradford where the Respect candidate recently defeated the Labour candidate in one of the safest Labour seats. The important development from Islamist to post-Islamist politics is also discussed.
11.50 – 12.40 Young Sikhs
Jasjit Singh, University of Leeds
This presentation will outline findings from doctoral research on religious transmission among young British Sikhs (18-30). Focusing on a number of arenas of transmission including families, Sikh camps and the internet, this presentation will outline the ways in which these various arenas allow young British Sikhs to engage with their faith. It will also demonstrate how many religious identity practices result from religious socialisation in the family.
12.40 – 13.30 LUNCH
13.30 – 14.20 The Youth On Religion project: Young people and the negotiation of identity in three diverse urban locations
Professor Nicola Madge, Centre for Child and Youth Research, Brunel University
The Youth On Religion project surveyed over ten thousand young people, and talked to over 160, in secondary schools and colleges in the London Boroughs of Hillingdon and Newham, and Bradford in Yorkshire. Participants came from a range of faith and non-faith positions, and provided a wealth of information on the meaning of religion in their young lives. It was very apparent that families guided their initial religious direction but that peers, school, the community and their own personal experiences and agency became increasingly important as they grew older. This presentation examines the meaning of religious identity for young people and documents some of the landmarks they pass in their religious journey.
14.20 – 15.00 YORvoice: Youth On Religion
Young people from the London Borough of Hillingdon, who participated in YORvoice, part of the Youth On Religion project, present some of their views on religion and its impact on young lives.
15.00 – 15.15 TEA AND BISCUITS
15.15 – 16.00 Growing up with disability in Pakistani Muslim families
Dr Debbie Kramer-Roy, Lecturer in Occupational Therapy, Brunel University
This paper presents findings from a study of Pakistani Muslim families bringing up disabled children. Religion was a strong part of their daily lives, and parents talked about how personal faith influenced the way they experienced becoming the parents of disabled children and living with them in their communities. While mothers tended to talk about the shift from feelings of distress and shame to considering their child a blessing from God, fathers reported how they turned to religious leaders and scriptures to learn more about disability and its meaning. Siblings reported generally positive views but also indicated some frustration at the restrictions that a disabled brother or sister imposed.
