Two conferences, one in Halle/Saale (October 12–13, 2026) and the other in Atlanta, Georgia, (March 8–10, 2027) aim to bring together researchers interested in the Francke Foundations in Halle, the English missionary societies, and the founding of the colony of Georgia. While the conference in Halle will focus on a systematic comparison between these institutions, the conference in Atlanta will address the social consequences. The main question is what types of social order the Protestant reform movements in Prussia, England, and Georgia promoted.

Your proposals for one or two presentations should not exceed 500 words each. Please
indicate which conference and which program item they refer to! Please e-mail your
proposals to Jan Helmig (jan.helmig@uni-paderborn.de) by 31 March 2026.

Please see CfP for further information.
