Hello, all!
It’s finally time for our first meeting of the academic year, an opportunity to meet one another, catch up, invite new friends and colleagues, and talk about our plans and goals for the workshop. So mark down these details:
Religions in America Introductory Meeting
Date: Thursday, October 9
Time: 12:00 – 1:15
Place: Swift 200
We will also use this meeting to introduce and discuss some themes and guiding questions for this year’s workshop. We hope these themes will help connect and inform our discussions and presentations. For this meeting, we are distributing five very brief readings (total of about 16 pages) from the journal Historically Speaking. We hope to use these readings to frame a conversation about various methodological approaches to the study of American religion.
Please email me at shields@uchicago.edu to obtain the readings. If you are interested in presenting or responding at the workshop this year (or if you know of someone might be), please get in touch with me ASAP.
Best,
Kit
