Student Religious Studies Conference (SRSC)
Friday, February 8, 2013
Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, Illinois
The Student Religious Studies Conference debuted in 2007 as an initiative of the Midwest Region SBL to encourage development of the next generation of biblical scholars. The conference provides an opportunity for students of various levels—undergraduate, seminary/divinity school, and graduate (pre-dissertation stage)—to participate actively in a regional conference in the supportive context of their peers and academic mentors. Students may present papers in various fields related to biblical and theological studies, including Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, New Testament, Second Temple or rabbinic Judaism, patristics and early Christianity, theology, historical studies, and comparative religions. For additional information, please contact Troy W. Martin (Saint Xavier University).
Student Member Professional Development Luncheon
Saturday, February 9, 2013
Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, Illinois
All graduate students who attend the Midwest SBL regional meeting are invited to this professional development luncheon courtesy of the region. We will use the time as an opportunity to network with other graduate student colleagues from regional institutions and to receive advice from established professors and researchers in the region on surviving and thriving in the academy. This year’s topic will be staying productive (and sane) after you have received your Ph.D. We will discuss various approaches to balancing teaching responsibilities with departmental duties, family commitments, as well as writing and publishing expectations. Topics may include keeping up with current scholarship, strategies for dividing one’s time, and methods for developing multiple research projects simultaneously. Please contact Eric Vanden Eykel with any questions.
