Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Postcolonial Studies and Biblical Studies Section is soliciting papers for two sessions at the 2015 Annual Meeting. (1) The first session will consist of papers offering postcolonial readings of the books of Ezra and/or Nehemiah. Proposals should state clearly how postcolonial theories will be used in their analysis. (2) For the second session, co-sponsored with the Latino/a and Latin American Biblical Interpretation Section, papers are sought that address any aspect of the interaction between postcolonial studies and biblical studies in the geographic and social context of Central and South America. Papers that examine how postcolonial studies relates to liberation theology and how this affects people's engagement with Scripture, whether at the scholarly level or among ordinary people, are especially welcome. (3) A third session will consist of invited papers and responses on the topic of "Evangelicals and Postcolonial Studies."
