2010 Annual International Conference: Psychological Manipulation, Cultic Groups, and Other Alternative Movements

 

The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) seeks paper and panel proposals for its 2010 Annual International Conference, which is being organized in collaboration with Info-Cult/Info-Secte of Montreal, Canada.

The conference will be held in the New York City area, Thursday, July 1 through Saturday, July 3, 2010.  

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

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.
