All facts. (Also, I really missed the mark on accessibility with my presentations and want to do better next time.)
Some lessons from #sblaar. Book panels are most stimulating/high quality. Blitzing the book hall at the end pays dividends. Presentation accessibility has a long way to go. Ticket scarcity at receptions is a real thing. People are mostly nice. Aberdeen still has the best people.

#SBLAAR24 folks: come join me at 1pm at the Omni for an excellent invited panel on everyone’s (least) favorite verse, Gal 3:28.

There will be puns! There will be pithy side comments! There’s a rogue Bill Clinton reference!

For folks attending #sblaar24, I’ll be presenting two different papers on Ephesians, incarceration, and enslavement. Would love to see you there if you can make one.

Hello! I’m figuring out how to be a NT scholar and first year professor in Kansas teaching a 4:4 load from Hebrew to gen eds. Big transition from finishing my PhD in Scotland in June. I love seeing what others are writing and posting your successes! Survival encouragement welcome!
