  • ... 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
ALT1 or ALT2 is approved. SL93 (talk) 16:34, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Worldcat refs

Please use Google Books instead of citations to Worldcat. I have formatted footnote 10 for you. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 22:56, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

[edit]
I cannot find anywhere that says Nyasha Junior and Jeremy Schipper are partners. They have wrtiten a book together but this implies a relationship? Does anyone have a link to an interview or something that shows this? I also don't know if it's necessary on a page about her academic career. Thanks!

  • Hey Al.barbee296 so a) the reference is next to the statement on the page (Footnote 15) and it is to Schipper's 2009 book[1] - it's a good point though, so I changed it to reflect the 2009 date & b) it's quite usual for there to be detail about people's personal lives on their pages, if it's referenced and relevant. I included it since they've co-authored books together, it appeared to be a relevant detail to her professional and personal life. Wikipedia runs on consensus though, so make the changes you think make an optimal encyclopaedic entry! Lajmmoore (talk) 16:43, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reference to Schipper fits better within the section about her academic career. Schipper and Junior are both colleagues at Temple University and co-authored a book together, but placing the reference under personal life and calling him "her partner" makes it seem like the two are in a relationship, which is not true. I have moved it and changed the wording a bit just so there is no confusion.Al.barbee296 (talk) 17:03, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Al.barbee296 --They most certainly are married and have been for over a decade--unless they have recently gotten a divorce, which I highly doubt.[reply]

Early Life and Education Source ?

[edit]

Hello! I found an article where Nyasha Junior says which church she went to as a child and wanted to add that to the "Early Life" section but I wasn't sure if this was okay since the article is self published. I looked at Wikipedia's self-publishing guidelines but I wanted to be sure before I wrote it. Here is the link: [1] and it is also linked under her publications section where I included the article as one of her publications. Thanks! Al.barbee296 (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
