Call For Papers:

The Disability Studies and Healthcare in the Bible and Near East section plans to have three sessions at the 2011 meeting.

The FIRST SESSION will be an open session (accepting papers) on any topic on biblical scholarship related to disability and healthcare (broadly defined). All methods are invited.

The SECOND SESSION will also be an open session (accepting papers). In this session, we encourage proposals that examine the intersections between disability theory and queer theory in relation to biblical texts and hermeneutics. This session will be co-sponsored with the "LGBT/Queer Hermeneutics" session.

The THIRD SESSION will be an invited review panel of Jeremy Schipper’s Disability and Isaiah’s Suffering Servant (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011).

Inquiries about these sessions should be addressed to either Sarah Melcher (melcher@xavier.edu) or Jeremy Schipper (schipper@temple.edu).
