Hello everyone,
As we are wrapping up the year, we are delighted to send you our first online newsletter!
Starting this month, we will circulate monthly newsletters that consist of announcements and current information related to the anthropology of religion. We hope to include new books and articles, calls for papers, employment opportunities, awards and prizes, conferences and workshops, publishing opportunities, grant and fellowship opportunities, Society news, and any other information germane to the anthropology of religion.
If you have any information that you would like to share with the broader SAR network, please do not hesitate to contact me (febiramadhan2025@u.northwestern.edu)!
As always, keep up with the most recent SAR news and activities on our website, Facebook, and Twitter pages!
Thank you,
