Stephen Carlson and Pat McCullough have both uploaded impressive lists of people presenting at SBL from their institutions; see Carlson’s “Dukies at SBL 2009” and McCullough’s “UCLA Presenters, Panelists, and Presiders at SBL 2009“. I decided to put a similar list together for participants who are associated with Emory University. As you can see, there is quite a lot of biblical scholarship taking place here. Perhaps next year I’ll even submit a paper for SBL.

Brandon,
That list is long! I wish I had that many professors involved in scholarly discussions to sharpen my own thinking! Great list, hope to see your name on that list soon
You forget one extremely important affiliate meeting:
Saturday, November 21
830pm – TBD (Local Watering Hole)
“Two Guys, Two Beers, The Bible, and some Reflections on the History of Interpretation”
Panelists
- John David Penniman (Former Emory Student)
- Brandon Wason (Emory)
- Whoever Else Wants to put this session on their CV
Yes, John, use your connections at SBL to get this on the program book.
you should look into Emory PhD alums as well…as a matriculating Emroid…I’d love to see my colleagues on this list – even though they have new schools attached to their names! just a thought.
Ingrid Lilly
Good idea, Ingrid. I’m not sure I could identify all the alums, but I can try. Also, I’m not too fond of the word “Emroid,” but it’s still probably not as bad as “Dukie.”
I actually hate Emoroid too (too much like hemoroid – sp?) I can give you a couple of names off the top of my head: Katie Heffelfinger, Chris Hays, Susan Haddox, Brian Alderman, Philip Sherman, Bea Wallins, Matt Ringe, Rob Von Thaden…maybe this would get too long…just an idea, though!
Andy Gallwitz is another former Emory student.
