The AHSRA 2023 International Conference will be held in Nairobi, Kenya.  There will be a Pre-Conference Research Ethics and Grant Writing Seminar on May 23, 2023.

A Virtual and in Person Conference (Hybrid)—May 24–27—To keep our organization’s momentum going, AHSRA officers and planning committee decided to hold a hybrid conference in 2023, hosted at Adventist University of Africa (AUA) Nairobi, Kenya.  We will hold the conference from May 24-27. This is a Wednesday through Sabbath. We will work to schedule events and individual presentations to be feasible as far as possible to our different time zones.

Conference Theme—Future of Adventism, Education, Social Issues, and Spirituality—The focus will be on the role of faith in healing and thriving.
This theme is broad and is intended to cover a wide variety of Human-Subject research in educational research, social issues, and spirituality. Other topics outside of the theme are encouraged as well.
