CO-SPONSORSHIP: Cultural History of the Study of Religion Unit and Science, Technology, and Religion Unit

*Genealogies of Science and Religion: Where does science and religion—as a subfield—come from? What types of science have been privileged in this conjunction? What are their origin points, lineages, inflections, institutional politics, and material conditions of knowledge production that have led to the current field? Proposals may consider the Pitts Digital Collection repository of “American Academy of Religion Program Books” and/or explore the history of the STR unit (founded as “Theology and Science” in 1987) and related subdivisions of AAR/SBL. We welcome proposals from all scholarly ranks including graduate, contingent, and early-career scholars.
