REMINDER: 2021 ASA ANNUAL MEETING & RELIGION SECTION DAY
Plans for the 116th ASA Annual Meeting in Chicago, August 7-10, 2021 continue. Note that ASA’s online portal will open for submissions on Monday, November 9, 2020. The submission deadline is Wednesday, February 3, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
Sociology of Religion Section Sessions are assigned to Day 4, Tuesday, August 10th. Since this is the last day of the meeting, our section receives an additional session for papers.
The section’s Program Committee consists of colleagues with an array of expertise. In hopes of adequately diversifying the scholarship featured this year, we are issuing an OPEN call for all Religion Section sessions and roundtables, while asking that session organizers for each of our sessions pay particular attention to themes which I believe are of particular significance to the study of religion today as follows:
- Session: Sociology of Religion OPEN (preference for papers on gender & sexuality) Session
Organizers: Jonathan Coley and Courtney Irby - Session: Sociology of Religion OPEN (preference for papers on cross-national or international dynamics)
Session Organizers: Gary Adler and Rachel Rinaldo - Session: Sociology of Religion OPEN (preference for papers on the State or power dynamics)
Session Organizer: Meredith Whitnah and Rhys Williams - Session: Sociology of Religion OPEN (preference for papers on non-religious dynamics or nones)
Session Organizers: Joseph Blankholm and Jacqui Frost - Refereed Roundtables: Sociology of Religion Roundtables OPEN
Session Organizers: Orestes Pat Hastings and Laura Krull
Our annual Sociology of Religion Section Business Meeting will convene immediately after the Roundtable Session.
Also, the Religion Section anticipates partnering again with the concurrent meetings of the Association for the Sociology of Religion also in Chicago. For example, we plan to again co-host a joint mentoring session for graduate students as well as a joint evening reception. More details as they are available.
GRADUATE STUDENT MENTORING – STAY TUNED
Our ASA Sociology of Religion Section is making plans to offer opportunities for Graduate Student Mentoring in the coming year. Stay tuned for details as they emerge.
