Call For Papers: The program unit will sponsor two sessions in 2024, each of which will include invited participants. The first unit will co-sponsor a book panel on Rafael Neis' book, When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven: Rabbis and the Reproduction of Species (UCPress 2023). The program unit will also sponsor a second session, an invited round table that considers “Voluntary Associations and Religion.” Our goal for the session is to consider voluntary associations and their interactivity, as broadly described, in order to spark creative conversation between experts working across multiple disciplines, using different genres of evidence (i.e. literary, architectural, papyrological, archaeological, epigraphic), across various regions (stretching from the eastern Mediterranean through other parts of the Greek and Roman worlds, Syria, and Mesopotamia, or North Africa), as well as in multiple languages. After a series of short introductory presentations that are artifact-centered, we will invite extended conversation among the invited participants and the audience.
