Dear Colleagues,
The Call for Papers for the SSSR+RRA 2025 Annual Meeting is now open on the SSSR website at
https://www.sssreligion.org/annual-meeting/call-for-papers/.
The theme for the 2025 Annual Meeting is Religion Matters. The 2025 joint SSSR+RRA Call for Papers encourages proposals that take religion seriously across different levels and domains of social life, and demonstrate that for better or for worse, we cannot
understand society without understanding religion. We are interested in proposals building on basic research (SSSR) that employ a range of methodologies and a range of scale as well as draw on established and novel data. We also welcome data-grounded theorizing
that forward heuristic concepts and frameworks. We seek proposals that are not only relevant for the scholarly community, but also those that have an applied research focus (RRA). And we welcome proposals on any topic within the social scientific study of
religion that examines how religious denominations, groups, or traditions relate to these topics, and, for RRA, work that is especially relevant to religious leaders.
The 2025 Annual Meeting will feature paper sessions, discussion and book panels (formerly known as "author-meets-critics" sessions). Submit a complete paper session - consisting of three to four presentations - or individual proposals, which the program chairs
will thematically organize. Proposals for book panels should contain the author of a recent book and three to four panelists. Discussion panel proposals should include a discussion moderator and three to four panelists.
The SSSR+RRA 2025 Annual Meeting will be held October 31-November 2, 2025 at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center in Minneapolis, MN. Submitters will be notified by April 30, 2025 of their paper/panel/session's acceptance. Please contact SSSR program chair,
Evan Stewart at pro...@sssreligion.org
or RRA program chair, Audra Dugandzic at
progra...@rraweb.org with any questions.
The Call for Papers will close on March 31, 2025.
We look forward to having you join us in Minneapolis for the SSSR+RRA 2025 Annual Meeting!
