Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the 2022 Annual Meeting in Denver, LGBTI/Queer Hermeneutics plans to hold three sessions, and we invite and encourage scholars at all levels to submit proposals to be considered for presentation in the first two of these sessions: (1) Connected to the meeting's location in Denver and Colorado, we invite abstracts for a special thematic session on "High Places." We imagine papers that engage LGBTIA2Q+ perspectives in order to explore the multiple meanings of "high"--whether glorious or forbidden--in biblical texts and contemporary spaces. (2) As always, we will hold an Open Session where scholars should feel welcome and highly encouraged to propose papers driven by any wide range of interests and topics around LGBTIA2Q+ approaches and perspectives on biblical texts, contexts, histories, reception, and politics. (3) We are co-sponsoring with Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible an invited book review panel on Jimmy Hoke's new book: Feminism, Queerness, Affect, and Romans: Under God?
