Congratulations to Jacqueline Vayntrub (PhD NELC, 2015), now Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible, Yale Divinity School, for her special co-edited issue on Philology and Gender in Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel 8 (2019), issue 4, just out!
The study of gender in antiquity, through the language of its textual products, is not a marginal concern of specialized hermeneutics lying outside the scope of rigorous philology. The very pedagogical tools through which philology is perpetuated—grammars, lexica, wordbooks, commentaries—are determined through particular lenses, dictated by frameworks natural to those who brought them into being and oblivious to other, marginalized perspectives. This collection of essays seeks to widen the philological lens in one particular marginalized area, but also seeks to encourage others to reform philological practices and frameworks from within as well.
