I had a wonderful morning today with A-level students doing research-led outreach. I used an article which I published on Ezekiel as a springboard to a wider discussion. The students were great. Thank you to the access team and departmental colleagues for making this possible!

I'm really excited to be convening the Hebrew Bible /Old Testament seminar this term. We have a brilliant line-up of international and national speakers coming to Oxford with research focused on the theme of Trauma and the Hebrew Bible!

The afternoon session for the panel I co-convened was really well-attended and the panel discussions were fascinating!

I'm so proud to have co-convened this panel here in IOSOT Berlin. There were three excellent papers (and two further in the second session, with a panel discussion)!

Did you know that @katherinesouthwood.bsky.social

We’re seeking proposals - especially those engaging with new methodologies and hermeneutics!

My own IOSOT paper! Can body-imagination help us to overcome epistemic injustice when we encounter Job?
