A dedication that reads “To the squeaky wheels of public radio”

A book cover of a book entitled “Listeners like Who?” On a wooden table

It’s publication day for Listeners Like Who? @princetonupress.bsky.social.

I’m grateful to the journalists that shared their stories with me, the colleagues and friends that read copious drafts, and the early readers of the book. press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

This is rooted in domestic anxieties about the declining hegemony of Christianity in the US and reflects onto US foreign policy, on both Christians and Muslims.

When I was doing fieldwork on religious freedom advocacy in DC, I would often hear that Christians are the most persecuted religious group worldwide. But where did that come from? I traced these claims back to 2 sources—Open Doors & Pew Research Center—and discovered that neither substantiate it.

The Social Construction of Christian Persecution Through Quantification in International Religious Freedom Advocacy Abstract. A perception that Christianity is under attack has animated American political culture, shaping domestic politics that advance Christian politica

New article on how international religious freedom actors misinterpret data on religion-based violations, claim that Christians are the most persecuted religious group worldwide, and leverage the perceived objectivity of numbers to claim ideological neutrality.

A very interesting new article by Miray Philips on issues w/ the (mis)use of quantitative data on Christian persecution. One area quant scholars and more critical scholars (should) align is on raising these types of concerns.

Call for work "that illuminates the various ways policing promotes – or could promote – public safety and social order." Maybe it is normal to have a special issue defined by the conclusions reached rather than questions asked, and it just grates on me when it's reactionary?
