The Blogger session at SBL will include two papers, offered by Kimberly Majeski and Jim Linville<\/a>, to be followed by a panel which will include Chris Keith, Anthony LeDonne, Dan McClellan, and perhaps others (if you are a biblioblogger who will be there, and want to participate, please feel free to get in touch \u2013 there have been some cancellations and unexpected conflicts, and so we might have room for one or two more). Here\u2019s the description from the program book:<\/p>\n

BLOGGER AND ONLINE PUBLICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

11\/24\/2014<\/b><\/p>\n

4:00 PM to 6:30 PM<\/b><\/p>\n

Room:<\/b>\u00a0Room 1 B (Upper level) \u2013 San Diego Convention Center (CC)<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Other (90 min)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Anthony asked<\/a> what topics from around the biblioblogosphere ought to be the focus:<\/p>\n

James McGrath has invited Chris, James, and I to be part of a panel discussion for the Blogger and Online Publication session at AAR\/SBL. I\u2019m not sure if Crossley will show up. He\u2019s sort of the the Axl Rose \/ Holy Spirit of Jesus studies; you just never know about his blow. Dr. McGrath suggested that we might leave a bit of space to discuss more recent topics. For my part I continue to be fascinated by the many changes to the peer-review process as we biblical scholars learn to navigate and exploit online media. So I might talk a bit about the climate that created Mary Magdalene\u2019s recent paparazzi.<\/span>

What other recent blogger and online events warrant discussion?<\/span>

-anthony<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How would you answer? What topics would you want to see the focus of discussion by the panel \u2013 whether you will actually be present for the panel or not?<\/p>\n

Of related interest, Jim Linville and I are also involved in a session related to academic freedom, in which blogging and the internet are also certain to be to the fore in the discussion at least at times:<\/p>\n
