REA Annual Meeting 2014

Religion and Education in the (Un)making of Violence

In keeping with this keen attention to issues of everyday religious lives, the organizing theme of the association’s Annual Meeting in 2014 in Chicago forges a conceptual problem out of a practical concern for what we have been witnessing in local and global current events: the problem of violence and the function of cultural and religious imagination in its making and unmaking.  (For more on the theme, see the Call for Proposals page.)

Please join us!

Our 2014 annual meeting will be held November 7-9 at the Doubletree Hotel in Oak Brook, Illinois, just outside Chicago. Learn more on our accommodations page.  Online registration will be available July 15. Our preliminary schedule will give you an idea of conference activities.
