In 2019, the Mennonite Scholars and Friends Forum at AAR/SBL will be focusing on the theme of “Migration, Borders, and Belonging.” The Program Committee is delighted to announce that the first part of the forum will be devoted to hearing reflections from authors of two recent books on this topic: Jennifer Graber, author of The Gods of Indian Country: Religion and the Struggle for the American West (Oxford University Press, 2018), and Felipe Hinojosa, author of Latino Mennonites: Civil Rights, Faith, and Evangelical Culture (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014). The second part of the forum will be devoted to hearing from respondents and the Program Committee invites proposals for reflections on the contribution of one or both of these works in relation to the forum’s theme.
Proposals of not more than 300 words should be submitted by April 15th, 2019 to mennonite.centre@utoronto.ca. The 2019 forum will be held in San Diego, California on Friday, November 22nd from 6:30–8:30pm.
