| Report | I visited this year’s Annual Meeting of the Society for Biblical Literature (SBL) in Denver, Colorado, from November 19th-22nd. This annual meeting is one of largest conferences in our field. I presented a paper on the impact of forced migration on family structures in Ruth 4,11-17; and I also got in touch with many scholars working on topics close to my own. The lectures and especially the discussions afterwards and during the breaks were very enlightening. I am very grateful for the IRB that made it possible for me to present at SBL and meeting and connecting with all the scholars internationally. Hopefully, attending this conference leads to more fruitful discussions via E-Mail and Zoom. |
