The AAR and SBL program books for the AAR/SBL Annual Meeting in November have been online for a while. Below are the sessions I’ll be involved in. Do note the last one – I hope that religion bloggers will come along to that session and discuss the many things that have unfolded in the blogosphere since the AAR and SBL calls for papers closed – that’s one of the positive things about blogging in the academy: discussion can take place in an ongoing fashion and does not have to be constrained by things like submission deadlines!

S24-308 Blogger and Online Publication 11/24/2014 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM Room: Room 1 B (Upper level) – San Diego Convention Center (CC) The session will conclude with a panel of scholars who blog (including Chris Keith and Anthony Le Donne, among others), talking about key moments in the intersection of academic blogging and Biblical studies from recent months. One of the great things about blogging is that it allows discussion of Biblical studies and other academic news over the course of the year. This panel thus makes room for discussion of topics that could not be foreseen when the program was finalized in April. Expect mention of specific topics and panelists on the scholarly blogs prior to November! James F. McGrath, Butler University, Presiding Kimberly Majeski, Anderson University (IN) Biblioblogging: A Bridge for Church and Academy (30 min) James Linville, University of Lethbridge Other (90 min) |
