New Developments in Religious Studies VIII:
Keeping Ourselves Current
Friday, October 31, 2008
Chicago, Illinois
Co-sponsored by the Program in Religious Studies and Education at Harvard Divinity School,
Religious Studies in Secondary Schools, and the Council for Spiritual and
Ethical Education.
This annual national conference provides an opportunity for secondary school
teachers in independent and public schools to meet
colleagues from across the country and to hear about new developments in the
fields of ethics and the major religious traditions of the world. Nationally and
internationally known scholars share information about new research and
resources, and teachers talk together about innovative projects they are
developing.
The conference is held in conjunction with the American Academy of Religion
Annual Meeting, and conference participants are eligible to attend
the AAR meeting at a substantially reduced rate.
Details on the 2008 conference will be posted in summer 2008.
