I am particularly keen to hear from PhD students, independent scholars and others who are under-represented and under-celebrated in the Society.

If you are sharing news to celebrate others, please include them in the email!

Examples could include recent publications (2025 for this first instalment), PhD completions, smaller events, awards, funding opportunities, job congratulations etc. A few sentences and any images you have will suffice.

Our final paper comes from James Crossley, who is discussing the role of the Bible in the English uprising of 1381. #BNTS2025

I'm chairing our next session, which started with Cambry G Pardee on the reception history of the notion of the devil in disguise, and is continuing with U-Wen Low's analysis of Revelation and the body of Christ from the perspective of performance criticism. #BNTS2025
