SOC 63691: Research and Analysis in the Sociology of Religion

(aka RASR)

Fall 2012

Description & Format

This seminar is designed to expose people to debates, issues, and topics in the sociology of religion and to provide feedback on research projects and papers. Presenters should send their papers to Kraig Beyerlein (seminar organizer) who will distribute them to other participants. Please send your paper to Kraig no later than a week before you are scheduled to present so people have sufficient time to read it and prepare comments. Though it is not required, presenters may choose to introduce their papers. Please keep any introductory remarks to 5 minutes or less (the expectation is that everyone has read your paper carefully!). Discussants are asked to limit their remarks to about 10 minutes and to focus on the paper's broader issues. After the discussants finish, the floor is open and everyone is encouraged to give the presenter additional feedback. Food and drinks will be provided for each 1.5 hour each session. If you have any questions about the seminar, please email Kraig.
