More demonstration of the wrist-technique (twist arm in or out, then up, to loosen their grip, then BOLT)

Just two members posing together, having fun

Two of the women in the previous post hugging it out after a grueling bout (again, this was an easy-going session with basic self-defense, no real fights).

Member of women's caucus in a gi with a black belt demonstrating techniques

Two women mid-battle (really just a practice used to remove hand grasping one's wrist)

Two more women mid-battle (one looks like she's falling while the other holds her up, but who knows what was really happening)

Some photos from our first meeting and self-defense course!

We also have New Books on Gender and Religion on Sunday at 12:30 (CC-Stars 1). We will have several people talk about their books, including Nijay Gupta, Rosemary P. Carbine, Mary J. Streufert, Amy Peeler, Oluwatomisin Oredein, and Kathleen Bonnette. Their books listed below!

Bringing this one back up, we've got Nadine Walter, Rebecca Lindsey, Jenny Holloway, and Laura Wilson. We got Dr. Laurel Kerns to be a respondent!

Esther Mombo's focuses are Christianity, women, and theology. She is a member of the Circle of Concerned Women Theologians and Coordinator of East African Region.

We also have (really all in CC-Stars 1) an African Biographies session on Sunday at 9AM. Our presenters will be Ruth Amwe, Edith Chamwama, Deborah Fulthorpe, Damaris S. Parsitau, Michael Hamilton, and Jackline Makena Mutuma. Esther Mombo will be the respondent.

We've got our Feminist Liberation Theologians session on Saturday at 12:30 (CC-Stars 1), focusing on book publications and topics such as childbearing, surrogacy, parenting, abortion, rape, and disabilities.

Our workshop (includes self-defense training) is starting now in Stars at Night Ballroom on the third floor (third floor, ballroom 1).

Our second session is "Religion and Women’s Work” on Saturday, Nov. 18, 5-6:30 pm.
Xvangelical perspectives on reproduction/abortion, a reading of colonized Aboriginal domestic labor, early Pentecostal understandings of women’s praxis, and spiritual healing work of early church female deacons.

This will be at the Women's Lounge in CC-Stars 1 on level 3.

In the run-up to AAR/SBL, I'll be listing out our seven sessions.
The first one isn't actually a session, per se. On Friday, Nov. 17, from 12:30 to 2:30 pm, we will be hosting a workshop session. Among other things, this workshop will include a self-defense course to help keep yourself safe.

We've got five whole sessions planned for this year's AAR/SBL, plus a self-defense course on Friday, November 17. We'll post more as we get closer to time. We hope to see you there!
