Annual Meeting
This year, the Committee for Underrepresented Racial and
Ethnic Minorities in the Profession (CUREMP) celebrates 25 years of service as
a committee of the Society of Biblical Literature. In commemoration of this 25
year milestone, we celebrate with the Society of Biblical Literature at the
Annual Meeting in November with three special events. We hope that you will
join us as we reflect on CUREMP’s progression and impact on the field thus far,
as well as discuss the change that is to come. Events are as follows:
