About the AMSN
The Anabaptist Mennonite emphasis on dialogue between scholars of different disciplines and between scholars and the broader ecclesial community is at the heart of the Anabaptist Mennonite Scholars Network (AMSN). The AMSN responds to the need for increasing communication around conference planning, special journal issues, and related items with a view not only to facilitating greater awareness and cooperation but also, and significantly, to expanding the conversation. In a very modest way, the AMSN seeks to nurture the conditions whereby we can break out of disciplinary, institutional, gendered, and geographic siloes that too often narrow our vision by fostering cross-disciplinary connections that intentionally include marginalized voices from across the street and around the world.
An email newsletter with recently added and upcoming news and events will be sent out roughly 3–4 times annually. If you are not already on our mailing list, we invite you to sign up at the bottom of this page. We are always looking to add information of relevance to the Anabaptist Mennonite scholarly world around the globe so if there are events and/or other items you are aware of, please let us know either by sending us an email or clicking the "submit news and events" button below.
