Study of Religion as an Analytical Discipline (SORAAAD) Workshop: Methodologies and the Analytical Study of Religion Print

Friday, November 22, 1:00 PM–5:00 PM

For 2013, SORAAAD will focus on the selection, design, and implementation of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, as well as responsible ways to use quantitative and qualitative research generated by other scholars outside of the study of religion.

SORAAAD’s Methodologies and the Analytical Study of Religion Workshop will be of particular interest for graduate students and established scholars who already enact social science and critical humanities research methodologies, who want to implement newer or different methodologies, or who need to integrate existing social science and critical humanities research outside of religion (i.e., sociology, anthropology, cognitive science, critical and social theories) into their research design, data acquisition, and analysis.
