@TrishPetak @KWUDECA @goKWU @margosamuelson @Ian_SRH @Boo_New2 @Autumn_Colgin You’re doing amazing things! 🙌

[Meredith Drees @MeredithDrees]

@ArthurGrupillo She is under-appreciated, and her work certainly deserves more attention. I was just looking at Religion As A Province of Meaning this afternoon! The chapter I mention in that tweet is now published in my book, Looking Good/Being Good (2021).

[Meredith Drees @MeredithDrees]

I am beginning a book chapter in which I am considering the affirmative approach to interpreting Kant’s theory of religion. Can anyone suggest resources? I am studying Davidovich’s Religion as a Province of Meaning, Stroud 2014, Firestone, Palmquist, Pasternak, and Vanden Auweele

[Miles Leeson @miles_leeson]

Just a few days let to get your abstracts in for our @IrisMurdoch conference at Notre Dame in June! Full details on the CFP below 👇

@freganmitts @PhiloCasey @ARStager @zenahitz Can you point me to some key Weil resources on this topic? I have studied Waiting For God. Where else should I look?

[J.R.R. Tolkien @JRRTolkien]

A very happy 131st birthday to J.R.R #Tolkien! Join me today in raising a glass to toast the Professor.

[Miles Leeson @miles_leeson]

New @IrisMurdoch Podcast! I'm joined by @fcpwhite and @LucyOulton to discuss Murdoch's sixth novel, 'An Unofficial Rose'.

Merry Christmas from Iris.

[Sam Director @sam_director_]

Simple teaching strategy that I’ve found to be successful: for every paper, we identify the thesis, the argumentative strategy, and a premise-conclusion statement of the argument (or very near it). Students internalize this well, and final exam essays show them using each part.

[William Todd Schultz @WTSchultz]

This book is fantastic. I’m underlining virtually every sentence. @IrisMurdoch
