It’s a Boston Gator Party! UF Religion at AAR/SBL 2017

The American Academy of Religion brings thousands of professors and students, authors, publishers, religious leaders, journalists, and interested laypersons to its Annual Meeting each year. Co-hosted with the Society of Biblical Literature, the Annual Meetings are the largest events of the year in the fields of religious studies and theology. Some 10,000 people attended the 2016 Annual Meetings, enjoying access to more than 1100 academic sessions and additional meetings. This year’s meetings will be held in Boston, Massachusetts from November 18-21.

UF Religion is proud to have 11 faculty, current graduate students, and former Ph.D. graduates representing the department at the event. From presiding over panels to presenting on topics as diverse as religion, medicine, and healing, global Islam, and biblical textual interpretation, UF religion is well represented at this year’s AAR/SBL Annual Meetings.

HERE is a full list of their presentations and panels with information about when, where, and what events they will be participating in so that you can enjoy their scholarly work if you’re in attendance!
