Public admin prof @UTCMPA, program planning and eval, studying faith-work integration in PA, on the PCA TVP MNA CPN team. Two free books at link ...

Very happy to spread the word that my short book, Bureaucrats in Babylon, is now available at https://t.co/CYCyfM4zgH. It's intended to help Christians who work for government and students studying public administration to think biblically about their faith-work integration.

NEW: a report from Vanderbilt and WashU just dropped, taking on the "state of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences," a big topic among critics of higher ed.

Read along w/ me 🧵

@drantbradley Many replies here miss the point of most writing assignments: to train students to *think*. We can solve the *assessment* problem with in-class writing, but I've yet to see a *scalable* AI-proof substitute for the pedagogical benefits of long-form writing.

I see people lamenting the lack of "evangelical elites" so here's my perspective:

I graduated from Princeton summa cum laude and then went to UC Berkeley for a PhD in theoretical chemistry. My career was all planned out: awards, academia, prestige.

Then I became a Christian 1/

@GeorgeSayour Thanks, George!

Several of you helped me recruit participants for "A Grounded Theory of Christian Public Administrators’ Integration of Faith and Work." Thank you, again, and I invite you to read the article at https://t.co/QltLddPuvw. @JPNAffairs

"Autism? We had hardly heard the term growing up, and we had nothing remotely like it up our family trees. Yet here we were, handed a devastating diagnosis. All around us grew a rapidly rising tide of autism."

Another fantastic group of UTC MPA alumni. Watch out, world.

[UTC MPA @UTCMPA]

We're so proud of our 2023 MPA graduates! This group had remarkable career growth even while students--can't wait to see what's next for all of them. Congratulations, y'all! @UTCPSPS @UTChattanooga @UTC__GradSchool

1/ The shameful incident at Stanford Law School happened because SLS, like so many other academic institutions, has become an ideological echo chamber. Such incidents can be prevented, but only by enhancing viewpoint diversity, especially among faculty and administrators.

[Matthew Lee Anderson @mattleeanderson]

This is what higher education is facing, more broadly. Fifteen years from now, the incoming freshman classes will be *much* smaller than they are today.

This is a chart that should keep college administrators up at night.

Contrary to claims that the American founders were deists engaged in a strictly secular project, there is compelling evidence that most founders believed in God’s providence & were influenced by a *Christian* natural law tradition. @MDH_GFU⁩ @LawLiberty https://t.co/yJ2ghE11Nq

“The Super Bowl is the symbolic epicentre of American culture, and it participates in forms of violence, racism, misogyny, inequality, and disregard for the poor that place Jesus decisively outside the stadium.”

@jamesrwoodtheo1 @suzania Thanks, just made this my cardio listen. Excellent.

[UTC MPA @UTCMPA]

We're looking for some great UTC MPA students for Fall 2023. If you or someone in your network might want to get started with us on a path toward a public service career, check out https://t.co/0xcgo9lVht and let's talk!

Those who share wealth gap data without sharing the impacts of critical factors like family structure & education level are being disingenuous & certainly not helping young people understand the levers of control they do have to lead a life of flourishing. https://t.co/ruI4JMBpZA

#9 DEI Done Right: Disentangling Christian Community from Critical Theory.

"while most DEI programs are rooted in critical theory, we can think about these concepts in ways that are compatible with Christianity."

@RyanWPRussell Yes, it can get to you. I haven't looked at RMP in years--highly recommended.

@JonathanLeeman Same, and funny timing. I've literally been ctrl+V-ing "Nebuchadnezzar" (there I go again) for the last couple of hours.
