Focusing on the relations between martial arts, religion and spirituality, this conference aims to engage the diversity and plurality of understandings of each of these terms – ‘martial arts’, ‘religion’, ‘spirituality’ – and of their relationships.

Any scholarly approach to the analysis of martial activity in relation to religion and spirituality is welcome, but preference will be given to those that demonstrate an adequate engagement with the field of ‘martial arts studies’, an emergent interdisciplinary discourse situated at the crossroads of the social and natural sciences, arts and humanities.

The organising panel is particularly interested in proposals for papers and panels that examine, interrogate, analyse, and cast new light on the relations, overlaps, identities and differences between and across martial arts, religions and spiritualities.
