Religious Encounters in Digital Networks
RELIGIOUS ENCOUNTERS IN DIGITAL NETWORKS Religion and Computer-Mediated Communication Conference 1-3 November University of Copenhagen, Denmark Scope The emergence of the Internet has provided a new context for interaction between religious groupings and individuals in modern society. Religious encounters can now take place in digital settings that apparently transcend a number of conventional boundaries such as organisational structures, time zones, geographic borders, religious traditions, and cultural divisions. This Conference seeks a deeper understanding of this expanding field of religious communication on the Internet. Keynote Speakers -Lorne L. Dawson, Associate Professor, University of Waterloo -Massimo Introvigne, Managing Director, CESNUR, Torino -Stephen D. O'Leary, Associate Professor, University of Southern California Programme The Conference programme is available online at http://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/hojs/encounters/programme.html Registration The deadline for registration is 19 October 2001.

Hello all, I made a call and got the Radisson Hotel Metrodome to open up 10 more rooms for conference presenters/attendees, but you can NOT get these rooms through the online registration system. These rooms are being made available through the local hotel's reservation desk only. All other avenues will likely report that the hotel is sold out. So, if you want to stay in the Radisson from AT LEAST the evening of October 10 (Wednesday), departing on the 14th (Sunday) or later, please CALL 612-379-8888 and make a reservation specifying that it is for the Association of Internet Researchers Conference (in order to secure our discounted rate). This is, effectively, "last call" for rooms at the Radisson. Those interested in alternative accommodation can use a service like http://www.travelocity.com which has an "Advanced Search" function for lodgings which allows visitors to input a particular address and identify options within a certain radius. The Radisson's address is: 615 Washington Avenue SE Minneapolis Minnesota 55414, and it is nearly adjacent to the Gateway/MacNamara Alumni Center, where most of the conference sessions will be held, so I recommend using the hotel's address address as a "home base" for such searches. You'll see that the pickings in the immediate vicinity are getting pretty slim. To avoid disappointment, please book expeditiously. Best, -- John Logie Internet Research 2.0 Conference Coordinator Department of Rhetoric University of Minnesota
