Call for Papers: Manipulation and Victimization - Montreal conference-July 2012

Call for Papers: Manipulation and Victimization

The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) is conducting its 2012 Annual International Conference jointly with Info-Cult/Info-Secte and in collaboration with the Université de Montréal, The International Centre for Comparative Criminology (ICCC) of the Université de Montréal, and l’Association québécoise Plaidoyer-Victimes.

The conference will be held in Montreal, Canada from Thursday, July 5, 2012 through Saturday, July 7, 2012. Montreal’s International Jazz and Fireworks festivals will be happening during the conference. Attendees and speakers at past conferences have been diverse, including academicians, researchers, helping professionals, former and current group members, families, clergy, educators, and others. Individual presenters at ICSA’s annual conference will have 30 or 45-minutes for paper delivery and discussion, depending upon whether we schedule two or three talks in a 90-minute time block. Panel organizers have 90 minutes for the panel. It is recommended that no more than four people speak on a panel.

The Conference Committee will consider proposals in English or French on all aspects of the subject, including victims’ perspectives, psychological and social manipulation, religious fanaticism, terrorism, law enforcement, treatment, prevention, and legal, social, and public policy aspects of manipulation and victimization.
