The Teaching Religion Unit critically examines pedagogical theory and practice. We particularly value proposals that combine scholarship of teaching and learning with innovative teaching practices. We invite individual paper proposals and proposals for fully developed roundtables or sessions that join innovative teaching practice with the scholarship of teaching and learning.

This unit was founded in 2025 and accepts student submissions. The unit chair would like to mention that Papers that include teaching with/about AI (artificial intelligence), affect in teaching religion, new approaches to assessment, and new models for co-teaching across disciplines will be of particular interest. Preference will be given to presentation formats that model engaged, interactive, and experiential pedagogy.
