Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Families and Children in the Ancient World For the 2016 meeting we are planning two sessions. The first will be a session co-hosted with the "Allusions in the Gospels" and will include both invited papers and an open call. We welcome papers that address (a) how representations of marriage, childbirth, childhood, and family in the Gospels draw upon, reflect, alter, and/or undermine constructions of marriage, childbirth, childhood, and family in the literature of the Hebrew Bible, of late ancient Judaism, and of the Greco-Roman world, and (b) how such intertextual connections function in a context of imperial domination. The second will be an open session. We encourage paper proposals on a broad range of topics relating to families and children in the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Testament, early Christianity, or the Greco-Roman world in general. Submissions from a variety of perspectives, such as gender, medicine, archaeology and literature, are welcome.
