This workshop will present and invite discussion of a draft proposal toward new “AAR Guidelines on Faculty Employment Practices in the Study of Religion.” These guidelines are based on revisions of the previous "Standards Pertaining to Contingent Faculty in the Study of Religion Board Statement (2015)." Expanding on the earlier Statement and addressing current circumstances of academic labor at a time when tenure-track appointments are no longer the norm, the new guidelines, drafted by Noh and the ALCF committee, will be proposed to the AAR Board for adoption in November 2026. Workshop participants will be provided with the current draft. Feedback from discussion will help shape the final draft that will go before the board. Please bring your experience and expertise and contribute to this important process.
Minjung Noh, presiding
