Program Unit Type: Group
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We are planning three sessions for Atlanta. For the first session, co-sponsored with the LGBT/Queer Hermeneutics Section, we invite submissions for papers that explore the prefixes of "inter-" and "trans-" in relation to bodies, genders, sexualities, and biblical texts and traditions. We encourage proposals to think broadly about these prefixes, exploring issues of intersex and transgender experiences and dynamics alongside of or in relation to broad themes of intersection, transformation, transnationalism, etc. For the second session, we invite submissions for papers which reflect upon how "the biblical" permeates contemporary concepts, concerns, arguments and practices of the body, gender, and sexuality. The third session is an open session, welcoming proposals for papers on any element of research related to gender, sexuality, and the body in the study of the bible and/or antiquity, including their various afterlives and influences. Questions or further inquiries may be directed to the chair, Joseph Marchal at jamarchal@hotmail.com
