Title
Documenting origins & appropriation of SQE
Content
It is important to me to find a way to document this chapter of the story of what I see as my ouster from academic biblical studies—but I am not sure how to go about doing so. I am beginning with a phase one, of gathering relevant correspondence. The brief version of the J’Accuse is that Jonathan Ben-Dov of Haifa University appropriated innovative ideas that I had shared with him, and work done by myself and others on project proposals and design, and converted these into a personal self-promotion platform, stripped of much of its substance of scholarship, accessibility, and intended paradigm-transformation. I will begin by gathering only emails composed by myself, as a baseline for concern about privacy of my correspondents. I am considering sharing sharing this on the hcommons DSS platform since the focus of the project was Digital Dead Sea Scrolls, and especially (as initially envisioned) transparency and collaboration. For now, beginning by uploading these first 4 selected emails to my personal page on hcommons, and posting a comment on my personal facebook page, 14 July, 2019. NB: For a somewhat bizarre partial acknowledgment of my role in SQE, see: https://www.qumranica.org/
