User:Sara Parks Ricker
Sara Parks Ricker is one of Stephen Gilbert's Wikipedia minions. She sincerely hopes that her lack of computer skills will not accidentally cause Wikipedia to explode and disappear.
She spent 3 years teaching ESL in Daejeon, South Korea to pay off the debts incurred while obtaining her financially useless yet personally satisfying degrees in English Literature and Biblical Studies and her diploma in Fine Arts, and to save up some dough towards her M.A. in Religious Studies (in New Testament).
She is currently residing in Montreal, Canada, undertaking a PhD in Early Judaism at McGill University. Her areas of concentration are the Historical Jesus, the Sayings Gospel Q, apocryphal/pseudepigraphal texts, women in Early Judaism, and the general intersections between "paganism," "Hellenism," "Judaism(s)," and "Christianities" in the ancient world. Her friends are proud of her accomplishments. (Stephen, did you write that line???)
Her academic page can be found at <http://mcgill.academia.edu/SaraParksRicker>.
Sara is a "Maritime" Canadian, which means she wears a "toque" in Winter, talks to people while standing in line at the grocery store, says "sorry" when other people bump into her, eats vinegar on her fries, and drinks Keith's (sometimes for breakfast).
Sara's a sporadic Wikipedia minion, because of lots of other "homework," but will have lots to contribute once her PhD research is complete (or when she's procrastinating her dissertation) - from the Maccabean Revolt, to homoeroticism in the Greco-Roman world, to concepts of canonicity in both Hellenistic Judaism and Harry Potter fandom.
