As you may be aware, our friends over at the Shiloh project
have recently released a cfp for their Religion and Rape Culture conference
taking place at the University of Sheffield on 6 July 2018. They are seeking submissions
of abstracts (presentations and research posters) for a one-day
interdisciplinary conference exploring and showcasing research into the
phenomenon of religion and rape culture, both throughout history and within
contemporary societies across the globe. This event is supported by WRoCAH and AHRC.

Following the success of our own Gothic Bible conference, we
know that this event will be of interest to the Gothic community, and
especially those interested in or research Religion and rape culture in Gothic
or Horror. Sheffield Gothic will be helping out with the event, and we
encourage those of you who are interested to submit an abstract or come along
on the day!
We would also like to draw your attention to one of the
brilliant keynotes, Professor Rhiannon Graybill (Rhodes College),
whose work will definitely be of interest to Gothicists, and especially those
interested in or researching the Gothic and/or Horror and religion. Some of her
notable works include:
- “Yahweh as Maternal Vampire in Second Isaiah: Reading
Gender and Prophecy with Luce Irigaray.” Journal of Feminist Studies in
Religion Vol. 33, No. 1 (Spring 2017).
- Why is the Bible so much like a horror movie?
- "Day of the Woman"?: Sexual Violence and Feminist Horror in Judges 4-5
The Shiloh Project specialises in the field of Biblical
Studies, but the conference organisers also strongly encourage proposals
relating to rape culture alongside other religious traditions, and issues
relating to rape culture more broadly.
This conference will take place at The University of
Sheffield on 6th July, 2018. It is open to researchers at any level, and
from any discipline and proposals from students, organisations and community
groups outside of HE are welcome. Submissions of abstracts no more than 300
words long and a short author bio no later than 29th March, 2018. Please
indicate whether your submission is for a research poster or a presentation. The
organisers particularly welcome abstracts on the following topics:
- Gender
violence and the Bible
