Languages: English and Spanish

Dates of availability: August to December

My commitment is for (time period): 3 Weeks

Relocation Information: I will prefer a single room with bathroom and internet if possible. Close to (or able to reach in walking distance) public transportation to arrive to institution. Stipend for living expenses - what is customary in these cases.

CV information:

The Intercultural Mayan Seminar (SIM) in Chiapas, Mexico, is a regional center of the Baptist Seminary of Mexico (SBM), where Doris presently develops her ministry in theological education, mostly among the Mayan people.

Ricardo and Doris' work spanning 20 years in various countries and mission fields is characterized by theological education in intercultural dialogue among the bible, contextual realities and indigenous cultures. They seek the empowerment of their peers, and inclusiveness and openness to the diversity of wisdoms.

EDUCATION:
Doris' education includes a Th.D. (2006) in Historical and Biblical Studies from Boston Theological School at Boston University. Her dissertation revealed the hidden literary and sociological structures of the construction of collective identity as resistance frames in the prophetic discourse. She has an MAR in Evangelism and Cross Cultural Studies (1988) from Andover Newton Theological School, an MS in Microbiology and Medical Zoology (1981) from Medical School of the University of Puerto Rico and a Bachelor in Biology and Chemistry (1978).

WORKING EXPERIENCE:   
Prof. García-Mayol presently works as missionary with International Ministries of the American Baptist Churches in theological education. Since 1998 to the present she has been the dean, academic coordinator and professor of Old Testament and Biblical History first at the Baptist Seminary of Mexico and the Theological Community of Mexico at Mexico D.F., and lately at the Mayan Seminary at Chiapas.

Doris designs and delivery courses in the areas of Bible (OT, Cultural Background, Prophets, History of Israel, Biblical Hebrew, Narrative Analysis and Biblical Exegesis), integrating the Social sciences, the Mayan culture, gender perspective and peace building. She has created educational materials for a diversity of educational levels (popular, literacy, graduate and postgraduate) and implemented comprehensive development programs for women's groups.

She also coordinates a Solidary economy program with Mayan Tseltal women at the highlands of Chiapas.

Since 2003, Prof. García-Mayol has given semester courses (Old Testament, Exegesis of Prophetic Discourse, Cultural Context of the OT, and Missions & Theology of Missions) at the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico (SEPR) in its M. Div Program.

From 1991 to 1997 in Limón, Costa Rica she collaborated first in the design, planning and implementation of the Caribbean Centre for Theology and later creating and delivering courses at master, bachelor, diploma and certificate level. She also participated in the support and promotion of development projects for a marginalized community in Sixaola, Costa Rica.

During 1981 to 1989 she developed her initial passion on microbiology as research assistant of biochemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, coordinating and publishing her research in regulation of iron synthesis. Before that she taught microbiology and related areas as professor of microbiology at the University of Puerto Rico. She coordinated research projects, publishing and establishing the immunofluorescence monoclonal technique to identify Herpes Simplex 1 &2 in high risk populations as Research Supervisor of the Center for Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Rio Piedras, PR.
   
SPEAKING AND REPRESENTATION:
Since 1982, Prof. Garcia-Mayol participated as a speaker at many events first in the United States in the areas of microbiology; and later on in Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States, in a variety of subjects: missions, interculturality, social identities and the bible, meaning and purpose of international collaboration, etc.

She has also participated in various academic events in Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba on a variety of subject: Primer Encuentro Nacional de Reflexión Bíblico-Teológica: La visión y misión de las mujeres evangélicas en México al inicio del tercer Milenio; Comentario a Luis Rivera Pagan: Diáspora, símbolos, y tradición profética; The future of Theological Education in Latin America; Present Ethical Challenges and Prophetic Discourse; La Misión: Claves desde Jesús, los Profetas y Víctor Mercado at 1er Simposio Misionológico en Memoria al Rvdo.

CV information:
A native of Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Leonard Greenspoon holds the Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization at Creighton University.  On the Creighton faculty since 1995, Greenspoon is also Professor of Classical & Near Eastern Studies and of Theology.
    
From his days at a graduate student at Harvard University (from which he received his Ph.D., in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations), Greenspoon has been interested in translations of the Bible.  Many of his publications-he has edited or authored fifteen and fifty books, written more than a hundred articles and book chapters, and penned almost 500 book reviews-deal with aspects of this fascinating subject.  He has written on topics ranging from the earliest translation of the Bible, the Septuagint, to versions of the Bible composed as recently as last year.  He is recognized internationally as an expert on the history of Jewish Bible translations, and he has been involved as editor or consultant in two Bible translation projects.
   
In his research and writing, Greenspoon is especially interested in the way Bible translators-acting as individuals or, more often, as members of a committee-reflect the historical, social, cultural, political, as well as religious environments in which they work.  He also focuses on how specific Bible translations influence the communities for which they are intended, and how later translators and commentators make use of earlier versions.
