The Work of Our Hands Beyond the Academy

This panel will focus on the stories of scholars of religion who aren’t primarily teaching in a tenure-line position in a university department of religion/theology. One panelist retired as a university professor, but didn’t start that position until he was 65. Another works at the intersections of philosophy, theology, and psychology as a dean at a school of education. A third provides critical scholarly research on American Muslims, while the fourth directs programs in religion at an international nonprofit organization. The panel is moderated by the contingent faculty director for the AAR.
