Subject: New Publications and CARV's AAR schedule

Dear colleagues:

We are getting to close to "that special time of the year"! Jamel and I hope to see many of you in San Antonio in a couple weeks.

Before reviewing the Comparative Approaches to Religion and Violence's panels, we would like to pass along some wonderful announcements. 

The Journal of Religion and Violence had a fantastic special issue devoted to African religion come out-- and you can access it here.

In addition, the Bulletin for the Study of Religion devoted a special double-sized issue to the legacy of Rene Girard's work on religion and violence. You may access the journal (and the introduction is free) here.

Below are CARV's panels. We have our business meeting on Saturday at the conclusion of the 1pm panel. Please try and attend, as we will be discussing themes for our Call for Papers.

In addition, CARV is co-sponsoring a reception for the Critical Research on Religion Journal. Please come - enjoy drinks and food -- starting at 7pm at Casa Rio, which is kitty-corner to the conference on the River Walk.

Below are details on our panels.

warmly,

Michael and Jamel
