Hello everyone,
SAR newsletter for this month has arrived! Thank you to everyone who has shared their new publications (congratulations!) and CFPs. If you haven’t got your email responded, please bear with me for a moment. I will respond to them (hopefully) soon, but I hope that your publications and CFPs have been included in this month’s edition. If I missed your publications/CFPs/events, please let me know.
Also, a bit of personal news: I have defended my prospectus defense last week, and I am going back home to Indonesia to do my fieldwork next month! I will continue working on this newsletter and everyone is certainly welcome to share information on their publications, CFPs, fellowship opportunities, and other information. My responses to your email(s) might be more delayed than usual, but I will try my best to respond to them. Even if I have not responded to your email(s), I am going to include the information that you share with me in the newsletter!
We hope to include as many information germane to the anthropology of religion as we could, so please do not hesitate to contact me (febiramadhan2025@u.northwestern.edu) if you have anything to share! We will always look forward to including new books and articles, calls for papers, employment opportunities, awards and prizes, conferences and workshops, publishing opportunities, grant and fellowship opportunities, podcasts, public scholarships, and any other information that you can think of in SAR newsletter to come.
As always, keep up with the most recent SAR news and activities on our website, Facebook, and Twitter pages! You are certainly welcome to engage with these pages and accounts as well. If you are on Twitter and have something that you wouldd like to be retweeted (or you want us to tweet that information), just DM or mention @AnthroReligion. We are here to support any anthropological scholarship on religion from all the subdisciplines, so do not hesitate to reach out to us!
In the meantime, I hope that everyone is having a great summer!
Thank you,
Febi R. Ramadhan
