Title page of PowerPoint titled ‘Wrong Place, Wrong Time: Bathsheba and the Geography of Women’s Fear’.

working on my paper for the Scottish Universities Biblical Studies and TRS Postgraduate Workshop on Wednesday at @trsglasgowuni.bsky.social! my favourite part of academia is getting to make a PowerPoint

A poster describing the research. Blue background and Scottish flag, with the title "Call for participants: Ethnic Minority Christians and Scottish Identity." The text underneath reads: "Interview participants are needed for a research project that explores how ethnic minority/global majority Christians in Scotland understand and relate to "Scottishness" and Scottish national identity. It will examine how their faith influences their personal identity, experiences of belonging, and their connection to Scotland. The researcher, Nuam Hatzaw, is a Christian from an ethnic minority. This research has received ethics approval from the University of Edinburgh. If you are 18 or over and identify as a Christian from an ethnic minority/global majority background (and) have lived in Scotland for at least five years then you are qualified to participate! Contact Nuam: Whatsapp: +44 (0) 7929799464 Email: nhatzaw@ed.ac.uk." At the bottom are the words "Centre for Theology and Public Issues, University of Edinburgh," and a small logo which shows the University in navy blue with "CPTI" underneath.

I’m very happy to share that my book ‘Reimaging the Magdalene: Feminism, Art, and the Counter-Reformation’ is now available to buy at all good booksellers (and the dodgy ones too).

I have an article out with @jibs-journal.bsky.social! A little insight into some of my PhD research, thank you so much to JIBS for their guidance and accepting my article, I am over the moon☺️

We are pleased to announce the publication of our first article of 2025! Go check out @WordsFromAStone.bsky.social's latest, "Oh Poor Jephthah: Jephthah, Jephthah's Daughter, and Himpathy," now available on our website. jibs.hcommons.org/volume-6-iss...

When I talk to students about Jephthah, we’re all a bit baffled about his idiocy 😂 that’s interesting about the vow! it wouldn’t surprise me, and I love these depictions of Jephthah in films, thank you so much for sharing, I will definitely be using them in future presentations☺️

Scottish Universities Biblical Studies & TRS Postgraduate Workshop SGSAH-sponsored day workshop for all PhD students in Biblical Studies & TRS in the Scottish universities

It's great to see this event expanded to include those in theology and religious studies, not just biblical studies. This has always been an excellent event and I've received some of the most robust and useful feedback here.

I’m procrastinating my thesis and speaking about God as Mother-Bear at this! 🧸

it went well thank you! it’s from a paper that should hopefully be published soon so keep an eye out 👀

The Los Angeles Wildfires Have Indeed Been Biblical — But Not in the Way You Think If you’ve ever lived in Los Angeles or if you have loved ones who do, you know that the January wildfires have felt especially like hell—a unique experience even in a city as well acquainted with disa...

This is not the first time I have had to watch loved ones survive (un)natural disasters, and I feel ill equipped to speak to the #lawildfires. But here are a few musings on the uses and abuses of the #bible that contributed to and emerge from this disaster: religiondispatches.org/the-los-ange...

Wrote on my experience of doing not-so-legitimate or serious scholarship @fsrinc.bsky.social!

Next week I get to share a bit of my book by presenting on #twilight, @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social and 1 Clement in Glasgow. Looking forward to good times with @garrickvallen.bsky.social and @kelsbot.bsky.social

in the past the research seminars have been hybrid, I’m assuming this semester it will be the same @garrickvallen.bsky.social?

marking my last exam from December and this student has used both Taylor Swift and Maisie Peters in their answer and made it relevant to the question (which I assigned) and I just feel like a proud mother 🥹

haven’t spoken about my research for a long while because ~mental health~ but I’m really looking forward to this!

“A Nils Kilm symposium at the university of Copenhagen, September 12-13” is in text in the left top corner. The image is mainly brown with white text, but blurry stripes of dark blue, dark green, light green, ivory, orange, and fuchsia are in the middle. At the center it says “transgressing boundaries” and in the right hand lower corner it says “biblical and social scientific studies of migration”.

Back in September, my anthropologist colleague Ida Hartmann and I hosted a workshop with amazing folks from multiple disciplines. Today, the first article went live for our special issue on the proceedings! Check out Katherine Southwood’s return migration to her work: www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15...

My Fleabag chapter which began as a paper at the first conference I attended from my shed (very 2020) is finally out in the wild, and in excellent company.
