Hey everyone. VT has published an advanced version of my article "Decentering Exile." I'm not sure when the physical version will be published, but the digital advanced one is open access and available now. I'm proud to have this one out there. https://t.co/dztIscCoFY

As someone who runs a center focused on religion and public life, I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to (continue to) be a topic of conversation in the years to come.

The bargaining team is enormously proud of this tentative agreement and inspired by the strength of our membership in making it possible. Below is the letter we shared with members this weekend that outlines the major victories.

It was a pleasure to speak to brilliant young reporter (& @UChicago alum!) @CKubzansky for this @chicagotribune story. We talked a lot about narratives of modern disenchantment + how cloistered communities are sometimes read as relics of a truer, more pure past. It was a delight!

See papers from (twitter people) @pj_wils, @MarshCunningham, @Gilli_Anne1, @philipforness, and others that I'm certain I am just unaware of their @ handles.

I hope this volume is taken as seriously as it takes the issues facing the field.

@robertmays @billbarnwell I vividly remember the look in his eyes as he was trying to find someone to take the ball from him. Incredible Bears moment.

Just finished my first class as an Instructional Professor and I am almost twitchy with adrenaline. So unbelievably stoked that this is (finally) my job.

Hi internet -- I need your help again! Trying to compile a list of the best feature length (ideally no longer than 7ish mins) radio stories about religion. What have you loved? What have you learned from? What stuck with you? #religionjournalism #godbeat #reallygoodradio

Hey friends. Doing the "some news" thing: today is my first day as an Assistant Instructional Prof. at @UChiDivinity I'm really excited to return to Swift Hall in this new role and to back in front of the classroom. https://t.co/NTooCu4uD9

[Emily D. Crews @emilydcrews]

Friends! If you were going to see a museum exhibition about American writing (very broadly defined) and religion, what texts (again, broadly defined--novels, songs, films, comics, etc) would you want to see included? #acrel #amrel #americanreligion
