Today, Western Christians commemorate St. John while those of us in the (Byzantine) Eastern churches celebrate St. Stephen.
Pretty sure I’ve got a book for you today!

Religious studies folks, a request:
I'm writing some text for a public-facing description of our department. (Literally public-facing--on the wall outside our office.)
How would you explain what religious studies is about to passing students in a way that would make their ears perk up?

In honor of me being mad on the internet, and also needing to feel like other people share my values:
Tell me about the class you didn't want to take in college that ended up bending your mind or being otherwise "useful" in your development as a person

Every person I know with a TT job, especially those who are younger or more recently appointed, also knows that they are absolutely lucky to have gotten one, and that one should never confuse luck for some mandate of one’s genius.

College is not vocational school. Being college-educated should mean more than "trained to do a job." There is joy in living a full intellectual life. If you don't want that, vocational programs are available for a fraction of the cost
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.
