BEST PRACTICES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA USE AT THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETING SBL and AAR promote the academic study of religion and sacred texts across many channels: print, online, and the Annual Meeting. Social media outlets, especially “live-tweeting,” can be an important means for continuing the conversation beyond the audience of an Annual Meeting session. These guidelines are intended to craft a forum that encourages an open discussion while maintaining the integrity of the scholar’s work. 1. Attendees are encouraged to live-tweet at the 5.

All times are listed in Eastern Standard Time (EST UTC-5). We anticipate that there will be some changes from the time of this publication until the Virtual Annual Meeting. The most up-to-date information on all sessions will be reflected in the SBL and AAR Online Program Books, in the Mobile App, and in the Virtual Annual Meeting platform. All SBL, AAR, Program Affiliates, Related Scholarly Organizations (RSOs), and Other Events sessions are listed in this Program Book. The sessions have been divided into four sections: Z SBL sessions (designated by an S#) and SBL Program Affiliate sessions (designated by a P#) Z AAR sessions (designated by an A#) and AAR RSO sessions (designated by a P#) Z Other Events sessions (designated by an M#) Z Publisher Spotlight events (designated by a B#) There is some overlap between the SBL’s Program Affiliates and AAR’s RSOs, and in these cases, the sessions are listed in both the AAR and SBL sections. The A/S/P/M/B numbers will tell you the date and time of a session. For example, S30-102 is an SBL session that occurs on Monday, November 30 and begins before noon EST (UTC-5). Session Number Key: 100–199 Begin before 11:59 AM (EST UTC-5) 200–299 Begin between 12:00 PM–2:59 PM (EST UTC-5) 300–399 Begin between 3:00 PM–5:29 PM (EST UTC-5) 400–499 Begin later than 5:30 PM (EST UTC-5) Each page has a tab marker on the side indicating the dates located on that page. Additionally, a gray header bar denotes start times. Symbols located adjacent to the session number indicate sessions which highlight special subjects in the AAR program. A symbol key is provided on the bottom of each even numbered page.
