Intersectional Feminism(s)

Call For Papers: Our call for papers this year aims to invigorate our unit to reflect a more inclusive feminism(s). In this, our first panel will be answering the question (1) “What is feminist criticism and its future?” We are looking for critiques, call-ins, and even hopes and dreams for what this unit and this sub-section of the field could be. Papers to be considered for this panel can involve discussion of transnational feminism in the world, feminism in the academy, and feminism within biblical studies. Our second panel will focus on (2) interdisciplinary approaches to biblical texts; given that intersectional feminism can and should entail gender-centered, queer, de-colonial, and post-colonial approaches, this call seeks to explore what are other approaches from across academia could and should be highlighted by future feminist engagements with biblical material? This call for papers looks to feature trans-disciplinary approaches to the biblical text as we broaden the unit, the field, and our proverbial horizons. Our final panel will be an open call regarding all aspects that our unit encapsulates – (3) intersectional feminist approaches to the biblical text. We especially encourage historically minoritized voices and early career/emerging scholars to submit to all calls as we desire our unit to be shaped by those too often denied space to highlight their work.
