Is this exhibit the best part of working at The Marty Center? Possibly. Maybe. Probably. Yes!
“Domestic Devotion” is now live at The Martin Marty center! Such a privilege to do this with @emilydcrews.bsky.social @tiffannett.bsky.social & Majid Nolley. Coming soon: the cross wall and other hangings! #secondhandsacred

Reading @ahmadgreene.com & Laura Helton this week in our Sacred Geographies course! We’ll focus on archives and collecting as forms of making/claiming/narrating/critiquing/embodying “the sacred.” Next week we visit Chi History Museum to engage archives & collections (& exhibits!) in person.

Just read a syllabus for a course on the sociology of reproduction in the US and there’s nothing about religion. Not one single reading in a semester length class that looks at “the social construction of reproductive values.” I find this astounding and yet also…not.

Just hit send on a final manuscript six years in the making. If you see me walking around delirious from the lack of weight on my shoulders just give me some electrolytes and turn me toward home.
PS Just realized I never posted the cover.

It's important to remember that the "crisis in the humanities" is deliberate and not because of a lack of funds or lack of student interest, but because of how those with power choose to wield their power.
Hearing the president of KU say that the way the humanities can protect itself - a question asked by a humanities professor of Spanish - is that her field should direct its public voice to how the Spanish language can impact AI versus the third study of an obscure play…. Just sigh.

We’ll be reading Meehan Crist’s “Is It Okay to Have a Child?” and hosting Kate Hoeting from @catholic4choice.bsky.social. A powerful way to say goodbye to wonderful students!!
Today is the last day of Religion and Abortion in American Culture and I’m feeling emotional about it! I’m going to miss the amazing students who made the class so good—and who welcomed me back into the classroom after two years away. Teaching is the best.
