##  2026 Conference: Belonging 

**Belonging: Practices of Inclusion in Spiritual Communities, the Academy, and Society**

The 2026: Belonging Conference will take place in hybrid format on September 24-26, 2026, along with one or two days of virtual-only presentations on September 21-22, 2026.

We are seeking proposals for scholarly papers, experiential workshops, performances, and artistic talks related to practices of belonging in spiritual communities and in the academy. We also welcome proposals related to the limits, contradictions, and paradoxes of belonging. Scholars, spiritual practitioners, activists, artists, and performers as well as those who exist at the intersections of these identities, are all welcome to submit proposals.

Read the full Call for Proposals on the [2026: Belonging conference page](/belongingconference "2026 Conference: Belonging"), and submit your proposal at the link below.
