EABS are to hold Annual graduate student symposium 2012

EABS are running an annual graduate student symposium for PhD students and post-docs, who are working on issues related to critical biblical studies; this may include Hebrew Bible or New Testament criticism, Jewish literature, social sciences in relation to religion and the Bible, biblical languages and linguistics etc. EABS welcomes a wide variety of interdisciplinary approaches!

In 2012 the event is running for the 4^th time and will take place in Hamburg, Germany from 30^th March to 1^st April, 2012. It is a great opportunity for PhD students to network in an international environment, present papers, and engage in discussion with others, who are doing research in a similar subject area. Every year, two senior scholars attend the event. In 2012, EABS president Jorunn Okland (Oslo) and Diana Edelman (Sheffield) are attending. Furthermore, there is a joint session via Skype with Ehud Ben Zvi from the University of Alberta, Canada.

Call for abstracts is now open until February 15^th, 2012.
