The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) seeks paper and panel proposals for its 2009 Annual International Conference which is being organized in collaboration with Info-Cult/Info-Secte of Montreal, Canada.

The conference will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, July 2 through July 4, 2009.  

ICSA has been running conferences annually for more than 20 years.

The conference will be bilingual (English-French), so proposals may be sent in either or both languages (some presentations may be given twice, once in each language). 

Attendees and speakers at ICSA conferences are diverse, including academicians, helping professionals, former and current group members, families, clergy, educators, and others.

Individual presenters may have up to 45-minutes for paper delivery and discussion. Panel organizers have 90 minutes.  It is recommended that no more than four people speak on a panel.

Papers and panel proposals will be considered in all areas of cultic studies, including religious fanaticism as it may manifest in terrorism.
