2001 Meeting -- A rich and successful meeting.
Columbus, Ohio proved to be the perfect setting for the 2001 joint meeting of the Religious Research Association and the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. Overall attendance was comparable to that of recent years, despite the terrorist attacks of September 11. Yes, there were some cancellations, and some traveled by car rather than fly.
If you did not attend, for whatever reason, you missed a great conference, stimulating and informative sessions, the always-enjoyable annual banquet, Columbus tours, opportunities for conversations among friends and colleagues, and a great sense of camaraderie.
Robert Beckley, RRA Program Chair for 2001, deserves our sincere thanks for the work he did, in collaboration with SSSR Program Chair Mark Chaves, in organizing an excellent program. Coupled with SSSR's offerings, there were sessions to satisfy a wide variety of interests.
A large, attentive, and appreciative audience attended RRA's plenary session to hear David Roozen's H. Paul Douglass Lecture, entitled "10,0001 Congregations: H.P. Douglass, Strictness, and Electric Guitars." Dave provided fascinating details regarding the Faith Communities Today (FACT) project fact.hartsem.edu conducted at Hartford Seminary plus historical material about Douglass's pioneering work. SSSR's plenary featured a timely presentation by Mark Juergensmeyer on how some forms of religion may be linked with terrorism.

Workshop on Teaching Social Sciences of Religion: Critical Thinking Exercises for the Wired Generation
Students today are overwhelmed by the bewildering over-abundance of information available. Without critical thinking skills, they tend to treat all information as equally true or valid, and they lack criteria and know-how necessary to (a) get the best information and (b) use limited, partly flawed or biased information properly. Each of us will share teaching exercises and pedagogical tips designed to promote critical thinking, and all participants are invited to contribute their experiences and exercises. The session will be an opportunity to discuss problems and possible solutions for promoting critical thinking in teaching sociology of religion.
