Call For Papers: The Global Education and Research Technology (GERT) section is planning 3 sessions for the Society of Biblical Literature Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. Together with Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish, and Christian Studies, we are sponsoring a session on Querying Linguistic Data in Biblical Languages. This joint session seeks papers on all aspects of computational analysis as related to biblical languages (not only Greek and Hebrew, but also ancient and modern translations of them). We are interested in different strategies for text-markup, querying, and algorithmic analysis, as they pertain to both research and teaching. Those working on developing online resources, conducting digital research projects, and creating pedagogical tools are all welcome. GERT is also organizing a session to evaluate potential applications of cutting-edge Bible Translation tools to advance research and teaching in biblical studies. In addition, to coincide with its upcoming official launch to the general public, we are planning a session with invited speakers to evaluate the Tiberias Project (A Web Application for the Stylistic Analysis and Categorization of the Hebrew Scriptures) by Joshua Berman (Hebrew Bible) & Moshe Koppel (Computer Science) of Bar-Ilan University.
