Humbled and thrilled about this upcoming roundtable on *Provoking Religion* at AAR Boston! Can't wait to see and hear from Siobhan Kelly, Wendy Mallette, Drake Konow, Kris J. Trujillo, William Stell, and Sam Catilin -- the provocations start on Monday, 12:30 PM in Hynes Convention Center!

You might not know this, but the 13th anniversary is the Hoosier anniversary! Ever glad that @pmckelveyphd.bsky.social trained from Providence to Boston those many years ago to meet me at a bookstore.
