Postponement of 2025 AASR Conference in Botswana
Dear AASR members,
Having considered the potential conflict that holding next year’s conference might cause with the earlier announced conference of the International Association for the History of Religions (IAHR), which our Association is an affiliate, we come to the painful resolution to postpone the 2025 AASR conference to 2026, still in Botswana.
While we regret the inconveniences this postponement might cause you, we believe it would afford you more opportunity to prepare for a more robust social and intellectual engagement in 2026.
New dates for the 2026 AASR conference will be announced in due course.
We also encourage you to fully participate in the 2025 IAHR conference in Poland.
Thank you.
Benson O. Igboin, PhD.
General Secretary, AASR
