Biblical Studies. We are pleased to announce the first colloquium of the AHRC Network
Abusing God: Reading the Bible in the #Metoo Age. The theme of the day will be coercive control.
The day will be structured around presentations from 4 pairs of speakers who have worked collaboratively in preparation for the event. Starter papers from each speaker will be pre-circulated one week before the event to all attendees (these may be written or recorded). Participants are requested to read/view them in advance. Only a 10 minute summary of each paper will be delivered on the day. If required, please bring your own paper copies.
Speakers will also co-present for 15 minutes on their collaborations with plenty of time reserved for questions and discussion. The speakers include Lisa Oakley (University of Chester), Colin Perkins (Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, Diocese of Chichester), Katie Cross (University of Aberdeen), Rosemary Hack and Matt Britton (Press Red), Siobhán Jolley (University of Manchester), Beth Keith (St Mark's Broomhill and Broomhall, Sheffield), Meghan Hansen (University of Oxford), and Robyn Riggans (WORTH- Women on the Road to Healing)
