Call for Applications Deadline March 1: The Study of Religion

The Study of Religion (thestudyofreligion.org), a 2011 NEH Summer Seminar at the University of Virginia, is accepting applications from scholars with an abiding concern for promoting intellectually rigorous teaching and scholarship about religion. The seminar, which will meet from July 11-29, will ask questions about religion with a group of professors and several graduate students from the many disciplines that have a stake in understanding religion, for the purpose of coming to terms with the manifold changes in the study of religion that have occurred over the past two decades. Participants will receive a $2,700 stipend for the seminar.
