I especially enjoyed my morning Chronicle of Higher Ed reading this morning: www.chronicle.com/article/gutt...

One of the huge perks of being Semeia editor (with @sblpress.bsky.social) is I get to read some terrific books before they get published. I got my final copy today and am so excited others get to read this wonderful book by Luis Menéndez Antuña!

I didn’t know some day I would have to go to a protest in defense of science, but here we are.

Happy holidays to those who observe them. When the inimitable Katy Scrogin, with whom I went to grad school, generously invited me on her podcast, I didn’t expect I would listen to myself discussing #BritneySpears on a Christmas morning run. plainreading.libsyn.com/innocence-an...

Hello #AARSBL2024 colleagues, on Thursday, 21 Nov, the University of San Diego will host an amazing double-header: Barbara Sostaita will speak at 5pm about Sanctuary Everywhere, and then Mitri Raheb will speak at 6:30 pm about his book, Decolonizing Palestine.

Latino/a/e and Latin American Biblical Interpretation sessions this year focus on legacies: Dussel and Pixley, José Esteban Muñoz, and Fernando Segovia. Join us as we think about the past and future. I look forward to seeing many of you at #AARSBL2024

Thank you to @saramoslener.bsky.social for the promotional design. If you’re here on the Monday of #AARSBL2024, please come to these two terrific panels with just some amazing speakers all reflecting with and on the legacies of José Esteban #Muñoz in the study of #religion.

This phenomenal and challenging book by JanJan Lin has finally arrived. I cannot wait to sit with it even if I am terrified right now about exactly some of the issues it excavates so well, the politics of #scriptures and #migration here in the USA.

In case you’re curious about what I said last week @seedpods posted my opening remarks about what the study of #scriptures brings to Latino/a/e Studies and some of the ways #LatinxStudies can impact the study of scriptures. sowingtheseed.org/podcast/

At the end of August I went to the first in a series of fun-looking conversations about the study of Scriptures, but I wished even more cool #scriptures scholars were there. I hope to see more of you online for one or more of these conversations. sowingtheseed.org/off-script/

Join us next week for the @ISS_Signify 20th anniversary meeting. Ahead of that meeting I was honored to chat with @RadPedagogy. I loved listening to what Vincent Wimbush, Richard Newton, and Tina Pippin had to say about teaching #Scriptures: player.captivate.fm/episode/79af...

Check out the final @ISS_Signify podcast before the 20th anniversary meeting in April. Listen to @seedpods in conversation with Arthur Carter and Rachel Schwaller on Reading #Marronage: the present and future of the Institute for #Signifying #Scriptures: www.signifyingscriptures.org/podcast/

Such a privilege to serve @SBLsite’s Semeia Studies series and get these book copies. #Reading in #TheseTimes is so critical. #BiblicalStudies.

It’s an honor being an editor for the #Semeia studies series because I get to see amazing work in #BiblicalStudies before other people do. My move delayed getting these two wonderful new books but I am so glad to see them and to be a small part of the process.

On my way to San Antonio. What a difference leaving at a reasonable hour on a sunny and warm morning! Anyways looking forward to so many sessions at #AARSBL2023 but I am super excited to go see this review panel tomorrow on #Latinx Perspectives on the #NewTestament with some terrific scholars!
