Biblical Studies and Gender. Call for papers for the first colloquium of the AHRC funded "Abusing God: Reading the Bible in the #MeToo Age" network
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new AHRC Network with a call for papers (maximum of 30 mins) from academics and practitioners at any stage of their career for the first of two colloquia on the theme of Abusing God: Reading the Bible in the #Metoo Age. With this call for papers, we seek contributions that address the theme of coercive control. We are especially interested to have papers that address critical responses to the #MeToo movement and abuse. The conference aims to address a range of perspectives including ethnicity, race, class, disability, sexuality, gender and sex. We welcome presentations in a range of forms, including but not limited to papers, interactive presentations, q&as or other creative formats. Once abstracts have been received, the conference organizers will pair academics and practitioners on the basis of their interests in order to facilitate collaborative reflection. Please send abstracts (maximum 300 words) and a short bio to:
