So excited for my colleague @khansonwoodruff.bsky.social — who just started her new role as Lecturer on American Religious History at Harvard Divinity School — and her fall course, Celebrity and Charisma in American Christianity!
It’s going to be such a fantastic class.

Garamond is the font that gently places the syllabus in your hands and whispers, “You won’t understand me now. But one day, you will.”
Garamond doesn’t care if you miss the deadline. Garamond is the deadline.
It’s not illegible—it’s just emotionally unavailable.

the wokest syllabus font is Garamond because it’s so illegible it openly acknowledges that nobody reads the syllabus

On July 4, 1917, Henry Ford’s English School held its graduation. Immigrant workers in native dress descended from a mock steamship into a giant cauldron marked “Melting Pot” and emerged in suits, waving US flags. Assimilation staged as public ritual.

This has been the hardest week I've had since coming to Harvard. But then these books arrived, one by one, like gifts. They reminded me why I study, why I’m here, and what still calls me forward.
Grateful for the scholarship and spirit of @tomtweed.bsky.social, @judithweisenfeld.com,& Gordon Chang.
