Hermeneutics Commons–A New Hermeneutics Website

Here’s a new project that I’ve had the pleasure to be involved with that I am sure readers of this blog will want to check out: Hermeneutics Commons, a website that promotes the integration and collaboration of hermeneutics initiatives globally.

The “About” link on the homepage provides more background information about the project—including the organizing group—and the “Help” link will assist your navigation of the site, including the availability of its presentation in different languages.

Registration is not required but will allow you to become an active participant. As the “About” section indicates, the platform will thrive only to the degree that you and other colleagues make the initiative your own and contribute to it.

We hope the site becomes a resource for hermeneutics activity, including announcements of existing and new bibliography, organizations, institutes, journals, conferences, seminars, teaching materials, and other hermeneutic-related work. The site additionally includes a link summarizing the responses to our hermeneutics survey that will help guide our future work.

Through the platform we will also send out a monthly newsletter keeping registrants informed of new activity.

Hermeneutics in Real Life: A New Project by Todd Mei

Our readers will be interested in Todd Mei’s new project, Hermeneutics in Real Life (HINRL). He describes his project as being “open to anyone interested in the application of hermeneutics to real life. The project includes online resources and a monthly, hour long, online discussion on topics applying hermeneutics to various areas of real life. While hosted by Ricoeur scholars, the invitation to participate is extended to the entire hermeneutics community, including those new to the field. ”

HINRL has an upcoming event featuring Prof. Richard Kearney. You can register for the event here.
