We also have New Books on Gender and Religion on Sunday at 12:30 (CC-Stars 1). We will have several people talk about their books, including Nijay Gupta, Rosemary P. Carbine, Mary J. Streufert, Amy Peeler, Oluwatomisin Oredein, and Kathleen Bonnette. Their books listed below!

We also have (really all in CC-Stars 1) an African Biographies session on Sunday at 9AM. Our presenters will be Ruth Amwe, Edith Chamwama, Deborah Fulthorpe, Damaris S. Parsitau, Michael Hamilton, and Jackline Makena Mutuma. Esther Mombo will be the respondent.

Our second session is "Religion and Women’s Work” on Saturday, Nov. 18, 5-6:30 pm. Xvangelical perspectives on reproduction/abortion, a reading of colonized Aboriginal domestic labor, early Pentecostal understandings of women’s praxis, and spiritual healing work of early church female deacons.

In the run-up to AAR/SBL, I'll be listing out our seven sessions. The first one isn't actually a session, per se. On Friday, Nov. 17, from 12:30 to 2:30 pm, we will be hosting a workshop session. Among other things, this workshop will include a self-defense course to help keep yourself safe.
