Short profile:
The American Academy of Religion's mission is to promote such reflection through excellence in scholarship and teaching in the field of religion.
In a world where religion plays so central a role in social, political, and economic events, as well as in the lives of communities and individuals, there is a critical need for ongoing reflection upon and understanding of religious traditions, issues, questions, and values.
Detailed description:
As a learned society and professional association of teachers and research scholars, the American Academy of Religion has over 10, 000 members who teach in some 1, 000 colleges, universities, seminaries, and schools in North America and abroad. The Academy is dedicated to furthering knowledge of religion and religious institutions in all their forms and manifestations.
