This year's meeting of the Religion in the American West seminar of the AAR, which will take place on Sunday November 20, from 9:00-11:30am, will center around themes of Land, Identity, and Transnational Wests. In addition to discussing the critical issues that each paper raises, the seminar discussion will also focus on ways that the four papers taken together highlight the distinct contributions the American West makes to understanding American religion. Seminar attendees are asked to read the four papers in advance; they are available for seminar members through the “Members Only” page above. Enrolled seminar members should already have log-in information (you can recover forgotten passwords on the log-in page) Those interested in attending who are not yet enrolled should contact tisa.wenger@yale.edu for more information. See you in San Francisco!
