SBL Bernadette J. Brooten Award for Scholarship in Gender, Sexuality, and Embodiment

Award to support and encourage early career researchers developing innovative approaches to the critical study of gender, sexuality, and/or embodiment in relation to biblical texts and traditions (broadly cast), especially with projects that foreground feminist, womanist, queer, and, or, as trans approaches.

The Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) is a US-based international association of scholars who teach and research the variety of fields that make up biblical studies. SBL is an interdisciplinary, humanistic, academic society that includes scholars of history, literature, archaeology, anthropology, theology, and more. SBL was founded 1880.

The primary goal for the SBL Bernadette J. Brooten Award for Scholarship in Gender, Sexuality, and Embodiment is to support and encourage early career researchers developing innovative approaches to the critical study of gender, sexuality, and/or embodiment in relation to biblical texts and traditions (broadly cast), especially with projects that foreground feminist, womanist, queer, and, or, as trans approaches.
