Nyasha Junior

  • ... that Nyasha Junior's book Reimagining Hagar, was inspired by the insistence of some students that of all the female biblical characters, Hagar was most strongly associated with blackness? Source: " I started the Hagar project because I was showing my students images and paintings of various biblical characters in class, and they absolutely insisted that Hagar should be a dark-skinned woman. But they did not have the same reaction to other biblical characters." https://womenbiblicalscholars.com/2016/08/29/interview-nyasha-junior/

  • The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. The hook shouldn't focus on a book that doesn't have an article. Do you have any hook ideas about the author herself? SL93 (talk) 23:39, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Nyasha Junior has argued that womanist biblical interpretations are a development resulting from African American women's activism? " Looking into the histories of feminist and womanist interpretation, Junior shows womanist biblical interpretation as a natural development of African American women engaging in activism instead of simply a response to second-wave feminism." https://doi.org/10.1177/0034637316689562g
  • ALT2 ... that the scholarship of Nyasha Junior on the life of Moses has been described as a starting point for how he can be seen as a subject of feminist inquiry?"Once the questions are raised, Junior moves on, leaving them for others to answer, but here we see how Moses can start to be the subject of feminist inquiry, not just the object of feminist critique."

@Lajmmoore and SL93: How are these hooks? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks so much Narutolovehinata5 - I would be happy with either of those. I've added in the references from the article for both. Do these work better SL93? Lajmmoore (talk) 08:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
ALT1 or ALT2 is approved. SL93 (talk) 16:34, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
