| Introducing the ASOR Junior Scholars Committee |
You might be wondering “Who is a Junior Scholar?” Well, unless you are a tenured faculty member, then you are a Junior Scholar! A second question might be what is “new” about this group? While the Junior Scholars Committee is one of ASOR’s newest standing committees, the group was started in 2004 to organize events at the Annual Meeting for students and early career professionals. Since that time, Junior Scholars has hosted over 10 Annual Meeting luncheons on a variety of topics, such as overseas institutes, post-docs, and publications.
