It is time for some of us to start preparing for travelling to the SBL Annual Meeting. For my part it represents registering, booking hotel, and looking for the cheapest tickets. This year we will stay some days in New York ni the days before the conference in order to do some sightseeing, visiting relatives, and not the least,- getting over the worst of the heavy jetlag that always strucks me when going to America. Going home is much easier…
Philo is surely to ‘be present’ this year too. Here I just provide a listing of the Philo Seminar at the SBL Annual Meeting in Baltimore, USA, in November this year. It is good to see that Philo is also present in any other papers to be presented at this meting, and I will list them later.
