Within a context of free inquiry and critical examination, the Academy welcomes all disciplined reflection on religion—both from within and outside of communities of belief and practice—and seeks to enhance its broad public understanding. www.aarweb.org.

About Syracuse University Syracuse University is a private, non-profit research university in Syracuse, New York. Founded in 1875, SU now enrolls 21,267 undergraduate, professional and graduate students in thirteen schools and colleges. http://syr.edu. The Special Collections Research Center in SU’s Bird Library has collected rare printed and archival materials about New York State history, including especially materials from the region’s religious and utopian communities and about activism and social reform. http://library.syr.edu/find/scrc/. About the SU Department of Religion The Department of Religion in the College of Arts and Sciences emphasizes cultural and theoretical approaches to the study of religion, and draws attention to the relationship of religion with literature, art, history, psychology, politics and philosophy. Students are encouraged to investigate both the religious dimensions of secular culture and traditional religions as cultural phenomena. The Religion Department is staffed by sixteen faculty members and offers the B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. http://religion.syr.edu. About Skä•noñh – the Great Law of Peace Center On the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, New York, a living history museum is being repurposed into a Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) heritage center named Skä•noñh – Great Law of Peace Center. Skä•noñh is an Onondaga welcoming greeting meaning Peace and Wellness. The Onondaga Historical Association (OHA) has formed an educational collaborative with the Onondaga Nation, Syracuse University, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Lemoyne College, Onondaga Community College, and Empire State College to develop the Center and its programs. The Center’s founding director is Phil Arnold, Associate Professor of Religion at Syracuse University. www.skanonhcenter.org. About the Society for Comparative Research on Iconic and Performative Texts (SCRIPT) SCRIPT was founded in 2010 to encourage new scholarship on iconic and performative texts. The society’s goal is to foster academic discourse about the social functions of books and texts that exceed their semantic meaning and interpretation, such as their display as cultural artifacts, their ritual use in religious and political ceremonies, their performance by recitation and theater, and their depiction in art. The society sponsors programming at existing regional and international scholarly meetings and at colleges and universities. www.script-site.net.
