About the Society

The purpose of Søren Kierkegaard Society (SKS) is to encourage study and discussion of the thought of Søren Kierkegaard in all its dimensions and ramifications, including its sources and influences. Affiliated with both the American Academy of Religion / Society of Biblical Literature (AAR/SBL) and the American Philosophical Association (APA), the Society alternates its annual business meeting between AAR/SBL and APA conventions. The Society encourages scholarship on Kierkegaard at the national and regional meetings of the AAR/SBL and APA through an Executive Committee which includes members of both organizations.

Meetings

The Søren Kierkegaard Society regularly sponsors sessions at the AAR/SBL* annual conference and regional conferences. Traditionally, a Kierkegaard Banquet takes place on the Friday evening of the annual AAR/SBL conference. Kierkegaard sessions are also commonly held at APA** conferences. For more information on meeting times and topics, please visit the organization web sites, listed below.*

In addition to these regular meetings, conferences of Kierkegaard scholars in North America are also held from time to time at other venues, most often at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. Information about SK conferences is collected on a site maintained by John Davenport: http://www.fordham.edu/philosophy/davenport/skconferences.htm

The collection includes approximately 10,000 book volumes some of which are a collection of editions matching those owned by Kierkegaard himself. The Library also offers collections of periodical articles, newspaper articles, and archival materials related to Kierkegaard studies. Microfilm, videos, and audiotapes are included. As a study and publication center, the Library especially welcomes students and scholars with serious interest in Kierkegaard research."
