 ng><em>Flour·ish</em></strong><em>: [</em>‘<em>fl</em><em>ǝ</em><em>riSH] (
 n.\, v.) growth and development in a good environment\; a gesture or to ges
 ture in such a way that attracts attention.</em></p><p><strong><em>De·cay</
 em></strong><em>: [d</em><em>ǝ͘</em><em>‘kā] ‘(n.\, v.) to rot organically 
 or the process of decomposition\; to deteriorate\; to fall into a state of 
 disrepair. Rotten matter. A gradual decline of quality.</em></p><p>This con
 ference proposes the terms “flourish” and “decay” as entry points through w
 hich to further understand how religion emerges and envelops within past\, 
 present\, and future worlds.</p><p>Both flourish and decay can operate as e
 ither overarching metaphors of change\, transformation\, and fluctuation or
  as literal descriptions of cycles of growth\, consumption\, and loss. We e
 mbrace the capaciousness of these terms and encourage graduate students to 
 think innovatively through them as an opportunity to explore religion <em>i
 n </em>process. We welcome diversity in topics\, theoretical approaches\, a
 nd methodologies from all academic fields and disciplines across a broad ra
 nge of histories\, geographies\, and religious traditions.</p><h3><strong>K
