Repping Religious Studies at our Institutions: A Panel Discussion

In this moment of anxiety about Religious Studies departments and the future of our field, we are interested in discussing the broader issue of what Religious Studies has to offer the Humanities and our institutions. We will share how our interdisciplinary training in Religious Studies has equipped and prepared us to amplify and support the Humanities at our institutions. We will share our perspectives on how our training has helped prepare us for our upper-level administrative roles, and we will share strategies for positioning Religious Studies in the broader Humanities and the dominant STEM-focus of our institutions. We intend for this session to be focused, generative, and future-oriented, and we look forward to a broader conversation with our colleagues in San Diego.
