Employment Workshops

In an effort to offer additional programming and networking opportunities for our members, the Program Committee encourages workshop proposals on professional development.

Are you seeking opportunities to mentor? Do you have learning, insight, or technology tips to share? Are you a wizard with social media and personal branding? Do you have an ability to create a CV from a résumé? Do you have specific advice for creating a successful portfolio and navigating the job market? Please consider leading a 60 to 90 minute workshop or intimate roundtable for 6 to 15 individuals that engages members pursuing academic and non-academic careers. We would love to have you!

Successful proposals from previous years included the following sessions:

● Career Diversity in Religious Studies and Creative Careers in Church and Faith-Based Non-Profits

● Developing a Public Voice and Making a Living from It

● Envisioning Academic Alternatives

● Job Transitions over 40 with a Ph.D.

● Marketing Matters for Academics: It’s Not Just a Corporate Thing!

● Online Pedagogies and Leveraging Online Experience in the Job Market

● Religious Studies and Nonprofit Management

If you are interested in submitting a workshop or roundtable proposal, please submit a proposal through the AAR’s PAPERS system using the buttons above!

All sessions will be advertised in the online and print program books.
