Requirements for Participation

Meals in the HB/OT and Its World


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year the "Meals in HB/OT" section is planning three sessions. The first will be an open session focusing on the intersection of meals, gender, and ethnicity. We welcome a diversity of perspectives that reflect specifically on the importance of gender and, if appropriate, ethnicity for texts that concern meals in the HB/OT. We would especially welcome investigations that engage with material culture or interpretations of specific biblical and comparative ancient texts. Our other two sessions address "Meals and Justice" and "Meals and Cultural Exchange in the Persian Period." These sections consist of invited papers. All sessions will conclude with a respondent; therefore, drafts of accepted papers must be sent to the section chairs one month prior to the meeting.
