We are glad to have students returning to classes this week after a busy summer for everyone. We have a new department chair and an exciting group of incoming MA students. Check out our Welcome Back video to see some of the changes that we have made to get ready for Fall 2023. We have had a productive summer beyond those changes. As a faculty, we have finished 6 books, more than 20 book chapters, 4 journal articles, and international […]

Welcome Back!
Where did the last year go…? The new routine of remote and, when in-person, masked and socially distanced classes was so different from what we all were used to that our sense of time has really been thrown off; for while it may seem like an eternity ago, the start of the Fall 2020 semester, not to mention the swift move to remote classes to complete the Spring 2020 semester, also seems like it was just yesterday. And suddenly it’s […]
Welcome Back
Yes, it’s here: the start of another Fall semester. And, yes, we have a new video to mark the occasion, which includes the newest members of the REL faculty. It also includes an important message for this particular Fall semester: #maskup. Don’t hesitate to contact your REL professor if you have questions about your classes. And…, welcome back! […]
You Better Believe, I’m Back!
The anticipation is palpable, we know, for this year’s welcome back video — which hits the airwaves tomorrow morning, on the first day of the semester. But until then, take a deep breath — inhale…, exhale…, repeat — and enjoy last year’s video: a walk around some familiar spots on campus. And make sure to be checking your crimson email account or your classes’ Blackboard sites, for updates from faculty about how your classes will start off the semester. #TideTogether […]
Now It’s On
If you’re new to REL then you may not know much about any of our traditions — such as our annual welcome back videos. Started in 2012, with a drive around town and an TV show theme song from the 1970s, they’ve progressed over the years, both as a way signal the start of a new school year and to tip our hat to the new faculty members who have joined us. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic changing the game last […]

School Starts Soon…
Are you anticipating this year’s new welcome back video?! We’ll post it on the first day of classes — but until then: do you remember the welcome back video from 2014? […]
Where It All Started
Yes, we’ve been making welcome back videos since 2013 and next week we’ll re-post a couple oldies and then our new video hits the first day of school. So, to get us in the mood, here’s the first one that we ever made — and yes, there’s a 1970s pop culture reference driving the whole thing. Welcome Back! from UA Religious Studies on Vimeo. […]
And so it begins…
We’ve been waiting for you — hope the Spring semester goes well. […]
