Call For Papers: The Postcolonial Studies and Biblical Studies Section will host four sessions at the 2024 Annual Meeting, three of which are jointly sponsored. 1. The first session is open and seeking papers that use postcolonial analysis and/or ideas associated with decolonization as a lens to explore biblical texts, their contexts, and/or the use of the Bible in modern colonial, postcolonial, and neocolonial contexts. 2. We will have an invited panel session on Bible Translation and Decolonization in Global Contexts, jointly sponsored with the Asian and Asian-American Hermeneutics section and the African Biblical Hermeneutics section. 3. The third session is jointly sponsored with the Minoritized Criticism and Biblical Interpretation section and reviews the book "Reading in These Times: Purposes and Practices of Minoritized Biblical Criticism," edited by Tat-siong Benny Liew and Fernando F. Segovia. 4. Finally, we will co-sponsor an invited session, Talk with the President, with the African Biblical Hermeneutics section, the Asian and Asian-American Hermeneutics section, the Contextual Biblical Interpretation section, the Islands, Islanders, and Scriptures section, the Latino/a/e and Latin American Biblical Interpretation section, and the Minoritized Criticism and Biblical Interpretation section.
