  • A Joint Session with the Anthropology and the Bible Research Group, Chaired by Emanuel Pfoh (hence proposals to him at EPfoh@yahoo.com.ar) and will be an open session.
  • Finally there is to be one open session of the Sociology and the Bible Research Unit (Chaired by David Chalcraft, at D.Chalcraft@sheffield.ac.uk

There is an open call for papers, but papers around the themes of the social scientific/ sociological approach to disaster, trauma and collective memory are particularly welcome as are any papers addressing methological issues/the relation between the various social sciences in Biblical Studies. The full range of interests of the group can be found on the EABS website. It is intended to publish the best papers (from these sessions and others) on the disaster, trauma and collective memory themes in the new monograph/book series edited by Chalcraft for Phoenix Press which will specialise in social scientific/sociological Biblical studies.
