A privilege to contribute to this issue. A different piece from what I'm used to, but enjoyable to write, w/ space to reflect on text, sociology, & experience.

I enjoyed exploring Boston yesterday, especially the relevant (unnervingly so) exhibit 'Revolution: 250 years of Art and Activism in Boston' in the Public Library. Definitely doesn't pull any punches. The library itself (old & new) is one of the most impressive public spaces I've visited. #aarsbl25

Really enjoyed myself at #aarsbl25 this year. It didn't start terribly well when I was detained in the airport for a few hours (an error -- not mine!), but Boston more than made up for it. A privilege to present in the Acts and the Exile (Forced Migrations) in Biblical Literature Sections.

As discussed at the AGM and in Michelle's recent email, we're hoping to launch the first instalment of the BNTS newsletter in the new year.

As such, I'd be grateful if you could share your news either in the comments or via email to Siobhán at [email protected].

Ich stimme zu.
Ich bin ja für die Einführung von Thanksgiving, damit wir uns nach der SBL ausschlafen können.

What a fantastic weekend we had celebrating our fifth annual New College Festival of Books and Beliefs! 📚🍂

We had a fabulous turnout for our exciting programme of speakers. It was so lovely to see everyone there as we explored the relationship between literature & belief 😊

As it appears in the SBL/AAR program book, my academic affiliation is now, apparently, the 'University *or* Edinburgh'; I promise you this wasn't my fault. I thought I had flagged this before the publication of the book, but looks like my SBL '25 will be forever associated with a typo.
