Stolen from facebook: image conveying my contribution and level of engagement this year so far in Chairs and Directors meetings.

Photo from a Project 2025 forum that a colleague and I did last night at a downtown church (one of 4 this month, this happened to be our week on stage). Colleague talked theology, I talked history. Just two academic nerds talking, yet, by the end people were getting rowdy (in a good way)

A week for stress eating baguettes on the way home. I'm not sorry.

Looking forward to "taking" my students to this upcoming religion and politics forum, organized by graduate students in the Religion Department at Stanford. Beats the boring stuff I had planned for class that day! 🤣Hoping that @kginlum.bsky.social will chime in with commentary as well at the forum.

Class starts Tuesday and hoping to avoid any rapid unscheduled disassembly scenarios until its inevitable annual advent early/mid April.

Full version (a few typos but who cares!).

Question: What happens next?
My presentation: je ne sais pas, beats the hell out of me.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
