About the Event
The Academic Relations Committee of the AAR has been convening monthly webinars on the future of Religious Studies, and this month we invite you to come learn strategies for building more resilient undergraduate programs. Panelists for this discussion include Richard Newton, Julye Bidmead, and Chris Jones. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss strategies about what Religious Studies departments can do to build stronger and more diverse programs for undergrads . Join us as we mobilize to reinforce each other’s efforts across units and face the challenges to Higher Ed head-on.
This webinAAR is part of a series of Academic Relations Committee (ARC) remote sessions that are offered each month; all these meetings tackle topics of direct relevance to the success of a department and each session is recorded and posted on the committee’s page at the AAR site.
