Amazing time with ca. 50 students from all disciplines! Afterwards we had an additional discussion of an hour about sources (!)

The writer/editor is a position within the Center’s Religion research team, which seeks to promote a deeper understanding of religion and spirituality. The Religion research team conducts surveys, demographic analyses and other social science research in the United States and around the world, studying people’s religious beliefs and practices as well as their views on related issues, including religion’s role in public life. The ideal candidate will have a strong data journalism mindset, with the ability to translate complex quantitative findings into clear and engaging narratives that are nonpartisan and non-advocacy. This position will be embedded within the Religion research team, where the writer/editor will work collaboratively to shape the team’s research agenda, including identifying key research questions; contributing to survey development; and synthesizing findings into accessible and compelling storylines. The writer/editor will also evaluate drafts of research reports to determine whether there are shortcomings in the analysis; edit, rewrite and reorganize drafts as necessary to improve flow and clarity; and work with researchers and designers to create appropriate charts and tables. In addition, the writer/editor will provide guidance and training to the Religion team’s researchers and serve as a writing resource. Following the release of reports, the writer/editor may help disseminate research to the public through the Center’s social media channels, videos, newsletters, and virtual or in-person gatherings, always adhering to the Center’s independent, nonpartisan, non-advocacy stance.

My new "theory of religion"...

The Department of Sociology at the University of Virginia invites applications for a tenured Associate or Full Professor position specializing in the sociology of religion. We are particularly interested in a theoretically engaged scholar whose work addresses religious pluralism in complex modern societies, the relationship between religion, civic engagement, and democratic political cultures, the social and economic impact of religion from a cultural and historical perspective. Relevant questions may include but are not limited to: how does religion shape cultural and political conflicts? How does religion relate not only to political participation but to the shaping of collectives? How do different understandings of the sacred inform the development of, and dispute over, morality? For additional information about our dynamic department, please visit https://sociology.as.virginia.edu/. For questions regarding this position, please contact Isaac Reed, Search Chair, at iar2c@virginia.edu.

Dat is alvast een stem voor de democratie en tegen de fascistische trekjes van onze politiek. Nu jullie nog! #verkiezingen

Could you please send me the link?

Would you know any good publications on the function of b/w images in non-fiction and/or academic books after the 1950s/1960s? #history

De Wolven voelen de tijdsgeest goed aan.

Would anyone have access to this publication for me? go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=G...

Grosses Eboard neben der Abfahrtsanzeige im Hauptbahnhof Zürich. Auf gelbem Grund ist in Schwarz "Antifascist Intelligence" zu lesen, darunter ein Packshot der WOZ.

Antifa ist überall.

So they are both on Telegram, not on Signal?!

Anti-immigratie-demonstratie Den Haag escaleert, confrontatie met politie De actievoerders steken vuurwerk af en zwaaien met Nederlandse vlaggen maar ook met prinsenvlaggen.

Just days after a far-right majority in the Dutch parliament asked the government to designate “Antifa” as a “terrorist organization”, far-right “protesters” shows yet again that they are the real threat to public order in the Netherlands.

Ik weet trouwens niet waarom we het RD in deze context citeren.

Anti-fascistisch is een democratische ondergrens, net als anti-authoritarian, toch?

Zecharia Sitchin would say: I told you so...

Nothing screams "First day back on the job", like urging colleagues everywhere to delete their Academia Dot Edu pages.

Which I'm about to do myself as soon as I got coffee in me.

This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

I finally finished "Fingerprints of the Gods" and am looking forward to read how Hancock in later books explains why the world hasn't ended yet...
