Access Wil Gafney's “A Reflection on the Black Lives Matter Movement and Its Impact on My Scholarship” in JBL 136.1 (2017): 204–207 buff.ly/mYio8yj #BlackHistorySBL26
A Reflection on the Black Lives Matter Movement and Its Impact on My Scholarship “The killings of Aiyana Stanley Jones (2012), Renisha McBride (2014), and the death of Sandra Bland while in police custody (2015) are part of an inescapable rising tide of black death. These deaths occurred and continue to occur in the same public square in which biblical interpretation takes place, and they and their implications must be accounted for in the work of interpreters of the biblical text who write, speak, teach, preach, and think to any degree in public.” —Wil Gafney

The volume I’m co-editing with Prof. Joseph Verheyden — Writing Collective Biographies from Ancient Greece to the Early Islamic World — has also passed final reviews at Cambridge University Press. Many thanks to the participants for their fantastic contributions to the volume!

Any doctoral student or early career scholar want to give an online guest lecture on Marcion (preferably) or second century Christianity (but not gnosticism) more broadly?

I think I can offer you a $100 stipend for a 45 minute talk. Needs to be MWF 10-1050.

This is a Super Bowl. My favorite of many Superb Owls this year is Baubo, who I got to see in person at a local exhibit this summer!

Very important. As someone who runs a team of instructional staff, I can attest to the real boundaries that often undergird institutional structure. Our fields of inquiry are different, but we are colleagues in scholarship, pedagogy, and student development. We steward the university together.
Academic Staff Expertise Is Largely Invisible (opinion)
Universities are set up to recognize classification, not contribution—rendering the intellectual contributions of academic staff largely invisible.
