Congratulations to This Year’s Winners!
We are pleased to announce the 2024 awardees of our November Annual Meeting Travel Grants. AAR hosts three annual travel grant programs including the general Annual Meeting Tavel Grant, the Religion and the Arts Travel Grant, and (inaugural this year) the Judith Plaskow Travel Grant.
Please join us in recognizing and celebrating these scholars!
The Judith Plaskow Travel Grant

Funded in honor of the former AAR president’s influential work in Jewish feminism and Plaskow’s enduring legacy in feminist approaches to the study of religion, the Judith Plaskow Travel Grant is awarded annually to a student or independent scholar who is scheduled to present a paper centrally informed by and/or contributing to feminist approaches to the study of religion at the November Annual Meeting.
The Religion and the Arts Travel Grant
