ICLARS Conference: Human Dignity, Law, and Religious Diversity: Designing the Future of Inter-Cultural Societies (International Consortium for Law and Religion Studies)
Date: September 19-21st 2022
The 6th ICLARS Conference will be held in Cordoba (Spain), from 19 to 21 September 2022. The general theme of the conference is: Human Dignity, Law, and Religious Diversity: Designing the Future of Inter-Cultural Societies. The aim is to analyze how the notion of human dignity, which is the central axis of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, can help create common ground between competing understandings of human rights that have an impact on freedom of religion or belief. Human rights were conceived as an instrument to achieve social cohesion and harmony but have often become a battlefield for conflicting ethical and political positions. This betrays the very notion of human rights, which are universal by nature and should be aimed at uniting, not dividing, society. Learn more here.

Call for Papers: Submissions for 2022 Issues (Australian Journal of Law and Religion)
Deadline: Rolling Basis
The focus of the AJLR is on scholarship that displays a connection between law and religion. Contributions that are purely theological, sociological, or political will not be considered, but interdisciplinary work involving these fields in connection with law and religion are welcome. Articles involving any area of law may be considered, and it is anticipated that many of the articles received and published by the journal will involve the sub-disciplines of public law (involving constitutional claims of freedom of religion or religion-state neutrality), employment law (involving religious discrimination claims), private law (involving the corporate structures, taxation and charity law obligations, and property interests of religious entities), and international law (involving human rights guarantees). Articles from the sub-disciplines of legal history, comparative law, and law reform are also anticipated.
Submissions may include scholarly articles, book reviews, and contributions to a special topic forum. Submissions should be in standard Australian English and references (with footnote citations), should comply with the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (4th edition), and in MS Word format. Prospective authors are encouraged to include their institutional affiliation, a cover letter, or a CV. All submissions should be sent via e-mail to editorsAJLR@gmail.com. Learn more here.
