This conference seeks to bring\u00a0together a range of perspectives on topics including ethnicity, disability, class, gender, sex and other identity markers in relation to the body, the Bible, and the divine. In a world that is increasingly politically polarised and that endangers the lives and bodies of those\u00a0who seek to disrupt the status quo, we recognise there is an urgent need to confront these issues in an academic setting in a virtual environment. We welcome proposals for papers (max. 20 mins) on the broad topic of Divine Bodies in relation to the Bible and the biblical world\u00a0including historical, contemporary and reception-based approaches. Interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to the topics are especially welcome. Suggested themes include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Postcolonial and ethnically diverse bodies<\/li>\n<li>Representations of God and divine beings<\/li>\n<li>Protesting bodies, rebelling bodies and dissenting bodies<\/li>\n<li>The body of the Church<\/li>\n<li>LGBTQ+ perspectives on biblical and\/or religious bodies<\/li>\n<li>Fertility, infertility, childbirth and parenthood<\/li>\n<li>Childhood and adolescence<\/li>\n<li>Disease, illness and the body<\/li>\n<li>Embodiment, the land and earth<\/li>\n<li>Socioeconomically marginalised bodies, and impoverished bodies<\/li>\n<li>Disability, mental health and able-bodiedness<\/li>\n<li>Intersections of gender theory and\/or queer theory and the Bible<\/li>\n<li>Religion, trauma and the body<\/li>\n<li>Representations of biblical bodies and divine bodies in art, literature and modern cultural products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please send abstracts (maximum 300 words) and a short bio to:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Zanne.Domoney-Lyttle@Glasgow.ac.uk\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Zanne.Domoney-Lyttle@Glasgow.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Sarah.Nicholson@Glasgow.ac.uk\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah.Nicholson@Glasgow.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0by November 30<sup>th<\/sup>, 2020.
