Pentecostal–Charismatic Movements Unit
The Pentecostal-Charismatic Movements Unit of the American Academy of Religion seeks papers and panels for the 2024 meeting in San Diego on the following topics:
- Pentecostals/Charismatics and civil rights
- Pentecostals/Charismatics and labor movements
- Pentecostals/Charismatics and the 2024 election
- Book panels on significant books which expand or challenge the current narratives of Pentecostal/Charismatic history
- Panels or papers which align with the theme of the 2024 meetings
For panels, the unit requests diverse representation in presenters, research subjects, topics, and methodologies.
This unit provides a forum for scholarly consideration of global phenomena associated with Pentecostalism and Charismatic movements. This unit provides an arena for a wide array of scholars, disciplinary orientations, and methodological approaches bringing together those working constructively from within these traditions with scholars considering the phenomena from historical, sociological, ethnographic, theological, and other perspectives. The unit intentionally seeks to encourage a global and pluralist perspective.
