ERIN RUNIONS is a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Research on Women at Barnard College, Columbia University. Her work brings together politics, culture and the reading of biblical text, a task which she theorizes extensively in her recent work, Changing Subjects: Gender, Nation, Future in Micah. She is also actively involved in anti-colonial and anti-capitalist organizing.
"Through sophisticated transdisciplinary analysis of the nexus of the Bible and film, How Hysterical greatly advances our understanding of some of the politics, dynamics, and complexities of identity formation. It should have a great impact across several different fields, not the least of which I hope will be biblical studies." -Vincent L. Wimbush, Union Theological Seminary "This book marks a major step forward in biblical and cultural studies. Runions offers a wise and incisive mapping of the complex circuits through which biblical themes and images circulate within popular culture. At the same time, she points us toward rich new possibilities for 'thinking otherwise'." - Randall Styers, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
