The American Academy of Religion is the world's largest association of scholars in the field of religious studies and related topics. It was founded in 1909.
As a learned society and professional association of teachers and research scholars, the American Academy of Religion has over 8,000 members who teach in some 1,500 colleges, universities, seminaries, and schools in North America and abroad. The Academy is dedicated to furthering knowledge of religion and religious institutions in all their forms and manifestations. This is accomplished through Academy-wide and regional conferences and meetings, publications, programs, and membership services.
The AAR publishes a journal and holds an annual meeting each year in November. Both the journal and the annual meeting are considered the most prestigious outlets for the scholarly study of religion in the world.
It holds an annual joint conference with the Society of Biblical Literature in November of which 2007 will be the last year as a joint conference.
The AAR provides awards each year to notable books in the study of religion. It offers three categories of Awards for Excellence: Analytical-Descriptive Studies, Historical Studies, and Constructive-Reflective Studies.
