Forging Connections and Bridging Dialogues: Towards Inclusive Biblical Studies
Proposal abstract :
In my endeavor to cultivate inclusive biblical studies in the context of an undergraduate liberal arts education, this project aims to seek opportunities to enrich perspectives on the interdisciplinary engagement by means of (1) seeking collaborations with a consultant in computer science, (2) forging connections with local communities for public humanities as well as with other scholars in biblical studies with similar backgrounds, and (3) pedagogy-focused conference participation. In the end, this project will contribute to refining my existing undergraduate courses in the context of addressing contemporary challenges and thinking outside the box to design future core curriculum courses on a par with Fordham’s ongoing university-wide project of revising college core curriculum.
Learning Abstract :
Promoting inclusivity in biblical studies takes diverse forms of creativity. Despite recent efforts to incorporate a variety of disciplinary perspectives into the academic study of the Bible, the field has remained insular when it is compared with other disciplines in the humanities. According to the 2011 study featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education that spots and maps the connections and networks of scholarly communications and the flows of knowledge, biblical studies represents the least connected field of study, showing less communication with and contribution
