The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) seeks paper and panel proposals for its 2010 Annual International Conference — Psychological Manipulation, Cultic Groups, and Other Alternative Movements — which is being organized in collaboration with Info-Cult/Info-Secte of Montreal, Canada.

In the aftermath of the raid by Texas authorities into the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints’ Yearning for Zion ranch, polygamous sects are an issue of discussion at the International Cultic Studies Association meeting this weekend at the University of Pennsylvania.

At the conference top officials for the Utah and Arizona attorneys general were peppered with questions about prosecuting polygamous crimes.
