@Swilua I’d definitely be interested! I hold a BA and MA in Religious Studies where I focused on NRMs, race, and sexuality! And I’m Queer as hell 😂

If you’re able, I’d super appreciate a minute of your time! #DonorsChoose #Teachers #Education https://t.co/dx8kJsH45f

I don't just want my students to learn about religions.

I want them to learn *how to understand* religions.

My first #DonorsChoose project! Help me provide pencils, dry erase markers, a pencil sharpener, and Clorox wipes for my kids! Use the code LIFTOFF to get donations doubled! #TeacherLife #TeachersOfTwitter #Education #UrbanEducation #Teacher https://t.co/xzpTPfyKj1

Interesting that Gen X is the one generation getting a bit more faithful over time (barely).
I wonder if there will be any dead cat bounce with Gen Z's belief in God, it's just dropping so fast right now! I could see a brief recovery as Gen Z ages getting a lot of media attention

This report of Black American religion has kept me away from twitter (and sleep!) for a while now. Happy to finally be able to share the results. https://t.co/MrulURmlbM

Hello. Are you teaching anything in #AmRel this fall? Might I suggest, nay insist, you assign the following.
(The last part is not a question or a suggestion. Put it on your syllabus.)

Black academics are sharing their stories with the hashtag #BlackintheIvory. Highly recommend everyone to take a look to see the constant racism, gaslighting, and devaluation of their work that Black academics face. These experiences is why we exist, and what we hope to eliminate

This you?

People really do think academia is a leftist re-education camp or indoctrination program, but it is so far from that (as most of you know). If I kept track of all the weird racist, sexist, & lgbt-phobic things I’ve seen/heard over the years it would be a very long book

[TW: racism, homophobia, antisemitism.] #MedievalTwitter thread: White supremacists are very invested in academic conversations. One major UK white supremacist account put out a long livestream video about the academic debate on the term "Anglo-Saxon" on Monday.

Because in many Western European nations the Muslim population is between 4% and 8% of the total population whereas in the US the Muslim population is just 1%.

Please remember that college is hard, being away from home is hard, and your students are under far more stress than you likely realize.
Periodically remind them of campus resources. Be sure to let them know you're in their corner bc college campuses can feel really lonely.

This is why I love Religious Studies: we touch EVERYTHING
