PCR Renewed!
The Psychology, Culture & Religion Group successfully completed its five-year review and our status has been renewed for another five years.
Other Calls for Papers
Some of the Calls for Papers from other Program Groups of the AAR and the SBL may be of interest to members of PCR:

Changes in the AAR:
Moving in Our Direction
Recently the AAR, its administration and its program committee have made several decisions that impact the PCR group. In each case the decisions support the ongoing work of the PCR group. Indeed, the decisions might even be seen as spreading the PCR's scholarly principles more broadly through the AAR.
Thanks to Our Members
Membership dues in PCR support resources for audio-visual equipment at the Annual Meeting. These costs, imposed by the host city hotels, have been increasing steadily over the past several years. Feel the warm glow of knowing that you're helping to enhance PCR sessions, subsidize grad students' attendance at the PCR dinner and to distribute PCR-related information to scholars, clinicians, and clergy members interested in our work.
