    Hello colleagues,

    I am one of the co-editors for the blog WIT: Women in Theology, which was started by some of our fellow CTSA members when they were graduate students. It has since expanded and one of the things that we regularly do now is to include guest posts. We accept posts from both established academics and graduate students. Any submitted posts will get reviewed by members of our executive board, who will work with you on any necessary edits and/or formatting for the blog.

    The information about how to submit guest posts can be found here: https://womenintheology.org/2020/10/30/are-you-a-woman-in-theology-seeking-guest-posters/ We are an ecumenical Christian blog, so please share the information with your colleagues and graduate students.

    Thank you!

    Sincerely,
    Elissa Cutter, Ph.D.
