The Jungian Society
for Scholarly Studies VIIth Annual Conference
Making the Darkness Conscious:
A Jungian Exploration of Psyche, Soma and the Natural World
in an Age of Crisis

7th - 10th August, 2008
Champlain College, Burlington, Vermont
Call For Papers
Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions
is a characteristic feature of Western theosophy,
but not the confrontation with the shadow and the world of darkness.
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but
by making the darkness conscious.
- C.G. Jung (1954) -
The Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies was
founded in 2002 by a group of academics seeking opportunities for
scholarly discourse on analytical psychology, focusing on the research
and theories of C.G. Jung and those who have come after him. TJSSS
organizes a yearly interdisciplinary academic conference through
which members can present scholarly papers, organize roundtable
discussions, and provide interactive workshops.
Continuing with the theme of transformation from Conference VI,
TJSSS Conference 2008 will provide academics from
across the disciplines, practitioners of analytical psychology,
and others interested in the work of C.G. Jung and the post-Jungians
an opportunity to explore the impact of the unexamined shadow in
the world today. The conference theme is inclusive and serves as
an umbrella for issues related, but not limited to, our human condition,
the relationship between individual and collective, and our human
embedded-ness in the natural world.
Proposals in the form of abstracts of 500 words or less are invited
for papers, workshops and/or panel presentations related to the
conference theme. We welcome submissions from students of Jungian
Studies.
Proposals should be submitted by
November 30th 2007 to: Dr. Marie-Madeleine Stey,
TJSSS Conference Coordinator, Capital University, Dept. of Modern
Languages, 1 College and Main, Columbus, OH 43209-2394,
All submissions must include your C.V., full name and full
contact information of mailing address, email address, and telephone
numbers (if in the U.S. & Canada). Conference information will
be posted in the near future at: www.theJungiansociety.org
