The American Academy of Religion will hold a Virtual Annual Meeting instead of the previously schedule meeting in Boston, MA. While this cannot replace the experiences and opportunities of an in-person meeting, the virtual space will provide venues for scholarly engagement and networking. As usual, the AAR meeting is being help in conjunction with the Society of Biblical Literature’s Annual Meeting. There is still time to register for both events.
The Religion and Public Schools: International Perspectives Group has two panels scheduled:
Religion Education and Distance Learning: Impacts, Challenges, and Opportunities – Thursday, December 10, 4:00 PM-5:30 PM (EST UTC-5)
Religious Education in the Context of Digital/Social Media and Religious Nationalism – December 1, 1:45 PM-3:15 PM (EST UTC-5)
From the Committee on the Public Understanding of Religion:
Religious Literacy and K-12 Education: Opportunities for Successful Partnerships – Wednesday, December 2, 11:00 AM-1:00 PM (EST UTC-5)
This Special Issue (SI) explores the theoretical and practical implications of integrating technology in religious and moral education, teaching about religion and ethics, and other initiatives for fostering religious literacy.
This issue will explore how and to what degree religious diversity is being taught in K-12 social studies classrooms and included in official school curricula and teacher education programs.
Special Issue for Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies—
White Christian Nationalism and Contemporary Education: Implications for Theory, Policy, and Practice
Chapter proposals are invited for an edited volume Religious Literacy in the Public Sphere. This book project will explore:
