Spencer Miller’s recent research and work in progress under the heading “Reading with Island Eyes, Speaking in Island Tongues: A Postcolonial, Autoethnographic Approach to Orality” focuses on the development of an oral hermeneutic for decolonizing biblical interpretation. This research includes a teaching interest in Africana studies and religion and the development of oral and Africana pedagogies. Spencer Miller is co-editor of Feminist New Testament Studies: Global and Future Perspectives with Kathleen O’Brien Wicker and Musa Dube (2005) and has contributed essays as chapters in many publications since then. One essay that introduces her thinking on orality as a cultural phenomenon is “Creolizing Hermeneutics: A Caribbean Invitation,” in Islands, Islanders, and the Bible: Ruminations (2015).view less
