Join us for this strategizing session led by AAR President Leela Prasad as part of continuing series responding to the accelerating closure of religious studies departments and programs in the U.S. academy. The panelists will include the current leadership and several past presidents of the AAR. The focus will be to share insights, anticipate challenges, proactively strategize, and act in solidarity. The session will be guided by on the ground perspectives and insights of faculty who have already been affected or are under threat by these cuts.
