Open PhD post in European Studies at Lund, in an interdisciplinary ERC project on radicalization and polarization run by @anamariads.bsky.social. (And I'll also be hanging out there a bit.)

Proofs! Coming out soon in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion.

Spread the word: Postdoc at the Institute for Religion, Culture & Public Life at Columbia. Preference to projects that seriously engage with the theme of religion and at least one of the other two dimensions. If I could go back in time…

The Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies at Heidelberg University has just posted its call for applicants for 2027-28. The theme for this round is vulnerabilities. If you work on anything related to the end of the world (or what happens after the end), you should check it out!

My review of Hans Joas' "Universalism" (@suhrkamp.de) is out: "To write a global history of universalism requires more than a measure of daredevilry. This is what Joas has done..., putting him in line with the giants of sociology, philosophy, and theology, on whose shoulders he stands."

Save the date! We're very excited to announce THE FOUCAULT CENTURY, a conference commemorating the centennial of Michel Foucault's birth, happening in Philadelphia from Sept. 24-25! More information coming soon! Free registration available at this link: www.library.upenn.edu/events/fouca...

My department is advertising an assistant professorship in theology, philosophy, and/or ethics with specialization in existential sustainability. Come to Lund - fabulous people (and yours truly) are here!

Coming to a bookstore, library, friend’s bookshelf, or possibly PDF collection near you…

As a biblical scholar who is facing employment precarity due to the changing landscape, like many of us in the humanities and social sciences, I’m grateful for organizations like @sblsite.bsky.social (1/4). 🧵

Very happy that this open-access book about my Doktorvater, Werner Jeanrond, is finally out! Lots of fabulous chapters. (And one, "On Heimat", by yours truly.)

Just a teeny-tiny reminder that my book launch party is TOMORROW (with @brownsmith.bsky.social, Sarah Emanuel, and Katherine Gwyther)! See you there? www.eventbrite.com/e/esther-kee...

So excited about this birthday present! Already loving it and know it will inspire a new hobby. Thank you @ulrich-schmiedel.bsky.social and @bugeric.bsky.social!

Reception folks! Theory heads! Submit your abstracts to @tdbiii.bsky.social and me by 13th April.

Rounding off this busy week, I’m looking forward to presenting this year’s Peake Lecture with my friend and colleague Samuel Hildebrandt tomorrow on our current research: ‘From Miriam to the Magdalene: Women Witnesses in the Bible and Beyond’ (no points for guessing which bit I’ll be covering!).

Currently reading this brilliant book! By @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social

I wish the Review of Biblical Literature weren’t membership-walled, so that I could call everybody’s attention to the very positive review of Zanne Domoney-Lyttle’s ‘The Bible and Comics: Women, Power and Representation in Graphic Narratives’.

One last update from this very busy March so far… A project @hannahmstrommen.bsky.social and I have been cooking for a while has gone live at biblereception.com 🎉 Growing out of our methods reading group, BRIM is going to be a one stop hub for all things Bible and reception.

We have TWO exciting opportunities to join our team📢 Join our passionate Visitor Experience team and help us inspire a love for Scotland’s marine wildlife! More information on how to apply is available on our website (see below)🔗

Happy that the Syndicate Symposium on my "Terror and Theology" (@mohrsiebeck.bsky.social 2021) is out! Given how many talk about the return of "Großraum" à la Schmitt again, it's weirdly timely. Unfortunately! Thanks so much to Ryszard Bobrowicz (@bobry.bsky.social) for putting it all together!
