The Society of Biblical Literature<\/a> and American Academy of Religion conferences in November have their schedules available at least in draft form, and so I thought I would share a little about the sessions that I am involved in.\u00a0I\u2019ll be talking about the making of Canon: The Card Game<\/a> viewed through the lens of the Digital Humanities,\u00a0focusing on the technology that made it possible to produce it. More details follow below.<\/p>\n I should also include a reminder that today is the deadline to register for the Annual Meeting<\/a>!<\/p>\n Who wants to play the Canon game at AAR\/SBL? Let\u2019s organize something \u2013 perhaps in conjunction with the Bloggers\u2019 Dinner<\/a>, which I should also begin\u00a0planning. Since we\u2019ll be in Boston, is everyone OK with someplace that specializes in seafood? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n S20-137: Joint Session Of: <\/b>Pseudepigrapha; Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish, and Christian Studies Theme: Multi-spectral Imaging and the Recovery of \u201cLost\u201d Texts from Palimpsests<\/i><\/p>\n James McGrath, Butler University, Presiding \u00a0<\/p>\n S21-116: Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish, and Christian Studies<\/strong> Theme: Reading, Publishing, Gaming: academic digital challenges<\/i><\/p>\n Paul Dilley, University of Iowa, Presiding \u00a0<\/p>\n Elsewhere on the web on related topics, see the following posts and sites:<\/p>\n
