Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: In 2024, the unit organizes three sessions. (1) The first is a continuation to last year’s Disclosing Reading Practices workshop session. Selected experts are invited to read a passage of their choosing, translate it, and present their close reading of it. The purpose of the session is to disclose interpretative processes that often remain implicit, to reveal the choices scholars do in their translations, and to invite discussion and interaction on the modes of indulging with the scrolls. The session is by invitation only. (2-3) In addition, we invite paper proposals to two open-call sessions that will address any aspect of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. We commit ourselves to balance senior and junior voices. In order to maximize opportunities for presenters, scholars should not present more than two years in succession. This restriction does not apply to invited papers.
