Paul and Politics


Program Unit Type: Seminar
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Paul and Politics Section proposes four sessions at the 2024 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. Three of the sessions will be open for paper proposals. The FIRST SESSION is a call for papers that interrogate Pauline literature, sexuality, bodily autonomy, and reproductive justice in ancient and contemporary politics, recognizing that reproductive rights are currently a significant site of ongoing social and political struggle. Papers that consider this focus through multiple lenses such as gender analysis, economic inequalities, political systems analysis, feminist analysis, and womanist analysis are especially encouraged. The SECOND SESSION is an open call session for pre-circulated papers with preference given to early career researchers and graduate students working on topics related to the relationship(s) between "Paul" and "politics" (in the broadest sense of both of these terms). The THIRD CALL is an open session inviting papers on any element of research related to the relationship(s) between “Paul” and “politics” in the broadest sense of these terms. The FOURTH SESSION, co-sponsored with the Feminist Hermeneutics of the Bible Section, is titled “Gal. 3:28 in Feminist and Womanist Perspectives.” This invited panel of feminist and womanist scholars will enhance our understanding of this critical text by bringing to bear intersectional approaches that engage gender, race, and sexuality.
