Linguists help us understand that many of our pet peeves are actually language change in progress and the linguistic diversity found in and across all communities of speakers. With this understanding, we can approach each other's language with more curiosity and less judgment. #TalkAboutHumanities

What drew biblical scholar and archaeologist Carol Meyers into the world of archaeology? Read her essay in Women and the Society of Biblical Literature edited by Nicole L. Tilford. buff.ly/Mt1E0Ld #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies

“By the beginning of my junior year, I was also hooked on archaeology. That too was accidental and somewhat serendipitous. It began as a lark in the summer after my sophomore year. I was seeking an adventurous summer-vacation experience, and I heard that a Harvard Peabody Museum expedition needed students for excavations at a prehistoric site in Wyoming. I joined the dig. It turned out to be hard, tedious work, much less adventurous than I had imagined. Yet it was nonetheless exciting—intellectually
exciting to learn about people who lived thousands of years ago by painstakingly uncovering and analyzing the material remains of their daily lives.”

Carol Meyers,
“Accidental Biblical Scholar”

What draws people into biblical studies? For Katharine Doob Sakenfeld it began with a love of research in high school. Read her essay “Society of Biblical Literature Reminiscences” in Women and the Society of Biblical Literature edited by Nicole L. Tilford. buff.ly/Mt1E0Ld #TalkAboutHumanities

"First, a brief account of my journey toward Old Testament teaching and research. Already in high school my favorite assignments were research papers; I loved investigating, digging around in sources to figure things out. My undergraduate program at the College of Wooster included a freshman course in Old Testament. I was captivated from the start by
approaches never imagined in my home church experience: the documentary hypothesis, the historical context for prophetic oracles, even the
possibility that influences of another religion (Zoroastrianism) might be detected in some biblical texts."
