M2M Research Network Newsletter September 2024
This is a reminder that we are still on hiatus until Sept 15th. We wanted to use this opportunity to remind you about the current and reposted blogs we are sharing on the website. If you haven't read it, we warmly invite you to read your free copy of the African Journal of Gender and Religion, "Black Women's Radical Religious Epistemologies in Mahogany and Steepled Towers." Click here to read and share your copy today!
During our hiatus, we have continued to share podcasts, including a newly discovered podcast called The Bible for Normal People. The insights of religious scholars and practitioners, all over the country, are engaging and provacative.
In addition, other podcasts we will continue to share include include: Womanist Bible Talk, a Podcast. When considering contextual work that brings a fresh perspective, this podcast has it in spades! In addition, the second podcast engages with Womanist Theology, Ethics and Biblical Studies by interviewing authors of the book, Womanist Interpretations of the Bible: Expanding the Discourse. There are additional podcasts that we will share that should assist in your journey for understanding the intersection between race, gender, class and religion.
September marks the official start of the new academic year for most of us. As such, we have curated several resources that we hope you will find valuable and will share within your networks. In addition to sharing job postings and fellowships as we see them, we will also continue to share academic grants and announcements regarding new appointments in religious scholarship and religious leadership.
As networking is also very important, we have been sure to include calls for papers – both for publication and for conferences. Whether you would like to explore the possibility of writing for a journal such as Global Black Thought, or speaking at a national conference such as the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA), it’s helpful to see where these opportunities are located.
Please avail yourself of these opportunities and share them with your students, colleagues and friends. We will continue to provide hyperlinks, where possible, so that you can take advantage of submitting your papers for conferences and publication, or for other interests you might have such as job opportunities. We look forward to more fruitful conversations with you for the remainder of 2024!
