Fantastic panel on religion & politics at #ASA2025. New findings pushing the field forward:
- how political activism brings some people back to religion
- how people use similar cultural schema to talk about spirituality & politics
- racialized patterns in Christian nationalism & patriotism

Ditto. Great group. Thanks to organizers. Yes, to productive conversations, organizational collaboration, and collective action. "People-ing politics" political acitivities and policy proposals for regular people and not for politicians' dreams and personal aspirations, ambitions, fears and whims.

I think it may have been recorded!! Hopefully they will post it online!

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

“At the heart of Black Feminist Thought is the belief in Black women’s humanity… It has resonated with various communities because there is something profoundly human at the root of that work”- PHC on 35 years of “Black Feminist Thought” 🐐 #ASA2025

“Sociologists tend to be cheap. They tend to belief that talking the talking is enough but don’t commit themselves to walking the walk.” 🙃 #ASA2025 #Sociology

I wasn’t ready!! 😩🤣

PHC on embodying academic excellence:

-Always be self-critical of your work
-Don’t give up on the questions(s) that motivate you
-Be experimental, engage in “intellectual care work”
-Stay on your own path.. don’t wait around for the topic or the method of the day. Be epistemologically free #ASA2025

“If you are in the masters house, did you honestly think you would live there comfortably?”- PHC on resistance within the academy… 🫢🥴🫠 #ASA2025 #BlackFemSoc

I’m also serving as a “curious reader” for Roger Baumann’s book, “Black Visions of the Holy Land,” on Monday morning! #ASR2025 #ASA2025 #Sociology #AcademicSky #Soc4Pal 🍉

For the religion scholars headed to Chicago for the sociology meetings, make sure to pop into the #ASR2025 conference as well as #ASA2025!

Katrina, Sandy Hook, Jan 6: three watershed moments where we could have risen to our ideals, but instead just paved the road to modern American hell

My forthcoming book on racial capitalism examines straw burning in Brazilian sugarcane. I analyze São Paulo where burning is (mostly) banned and the Northeast where it mostly persists. Burning explains a lot about how racial, class and regional identity intersect with the environment and climate.

And I’m also excited to serve as a “curious reader” on a book panel for the award winning “Bodies out of Place” by Barbara Combs! #ASA #ASA2025 #Sociology #AcademicSky
