Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the American Academy of Religion.
Since we can’t be together at the conference, we’re bringing our book exhibit to you.
From virtually anywhere, you can browse our list of new and recent titles, chat with our editor Elaine Maisner, learn about our new books in our Where Religion Lives and Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks Series, and more.
A note from Elaine Maisner, executive editor for religious studies
Religion scholars and writers at all levels, welcome to UNC Press, celebrating its centennial in 2022. I invite you to check out UNC Press’s religious studies lists—thrilled for you to see our newest publications, as well as those from earlier seasons.
Join me in my zoom room during #AARSBL2021 on Nov. 19, 22, or 23 to talk about your projects. Early on in your process is fine. To set up a chat with me, just DM @elainemaisner or email emaisner@email.unc.edu.
Attend: Wondering how to get published? Join our virtual AAR panel (AV22-104), Steps to Publishing Your Book: From Pitch to Production, Monday, Nov. 22, 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST. My fellow editors and I look forward to seeing you. First book or beyond.
