Picture of a church and the words "the Quiet Revival"
Do you know a social scientist persuaded there's a religious resurgence happening in the UK or US? I'm looking for a panelist or two to make an empirical case for revival in a session at the Soc. for the Scientific Study of Religion meeting. https://sssreligion.org/annual-meeting/meeting-info/
I've sadly lost quite a few subscribers since moving my newsletter from Substack, so I would greatly appreciate it if you signed up now that it's on Ghost.
I'll have to try that

Glad you're recovering!!

I keep telling them my score is alarmingly high for very good reasons
Thanks for reading!
Read this thread, then get out there and do your part to make solidarity real.
If you can't trust a citation, what can you trust? AI chatbots are inventing academic sources – and some scholars are citing them. My latest on "scholarly slop" for @theobserveruk.bsky.social

Andy's podcast is essential. It only has three episodes so far, but I've learned so much from each of them.
At one point last week, I had 3 separate, active archives projects with an additional one in development
"Your steadfast commitment to our strategic mission, despite the multiple tramplings, maulings, and other encounters we shall henceforth refer to as 'terminal networking opportunities' has not gone unnoticed."

A Bluesky thread. Daniel Radosh writes: Took my kid to a college fair for small liberal arts schools and asked each one, "how are you thinking about Al?" (hard to find a neutral way to phrase that so they didn't just say what I want to hear). Only one gushed about how they're integrating it into the curriculum (crossed it off the list) The most common response was a cautious "right now we leave it up to individual profs but it's not going away so we've begun an investigation into whether to formally allow it or adopt it, and how to engage with it critically." But one school said, "We believe in a human-centered education and Al is at odds with that. Honor code rules about plagiarism cover Al but we also don't waste effort cracking down on it. Instead we make it clear that using it is cheating yourself out of the education you presumably signed up for" I told the rep, "That's the best answer I've heard all day, now I need to ask about Leon Botstein," and she just deflated.
Look, you win some, you lose some @radosh.bsky.social
Tis a glorious day!

I think somebody from the Einstein family should be able to sue every one of y'all snatching that man's name for your rudimentary pet project so I definitely believe these people should be able to have some sort of recourse
