I will be presenting at the American Academy of Religion annual conference in San Antonio, Texas this year. The conference is November 19-22, I present on a panel titled "The Occult Challenge to Sufism" on November 21. My paper is entitled "Do Sufi Occultists Dream of Electric Sheep? : Magical Constructions of Authenticity in a 19th CE Persian Manuscript." I look forward to connecting with so many friends and colleagues during what I am sure will be hectic whirlwind of a conference. For anyone interested in the conference program, here is a link:
