A Brief History ...
From 2011-2019, SORAAAD ran an annual half or full day workshop just prior to the Society of Biblical Literature/American Academic of Religion annual meeting with a theme as a through line for case studies, sponsored by program units within each organization as noted below. Since 2014 SORAAAD has been sponsored by the University of Regina Religion department and then the University of Regina's Department of Religion, Gender and Critical Studies, and continued to meet adjacent the annual meeting with the support of institutional sponsors in or adjacent to the host city, as noted below, until 2019.
Prior to the onset of the COVID 19 Pandemic, the Implicit Religion Trust offered a second in person meeting, in the same format, to take place adjacent to its new conference in the U.S.. This has since 2021 taken the form of an online workshop focused on an aspect of qualitative research design for students, early career researchers and independent scholars presenting at the conference. The Implicit Religion Trust has supported video conferencing for all of our events since 2021.
