Great to hear about students' project ideas today: religion, magic and football; music and religion in Senegal; Afro-argentinian identity and spirituality; and Somali poetry and ideas of the nation. Excited to work with you on these student research projects over the next months

@dougkaze @karenlauter @tazanu @drodurofrimpong @MkeYoung Yes, I think we might do a session on it. Do you happen to have any of pastors? #religionpopular21

@dougkaze 's ongoing work on spoken word and religion in Jos, Northern Nigeria, and @karenlauter 's work on popular culture as a means to build pastors' 'bigness'. We discussed how to work with rumours, performance, aesthetics, mediation, production, musicality & spelling

This week's second session of our religion, popular culture, and the media course was so inspiring. We learned about @drodurofrimpong 's work on #sakawa rituals in Ghanaian popular vidoes https://t.co/CyKJmOHjUt

And @tazanu1 's research on polluted spirits, compromised identity and Pentecostal TV discourses in Cameroon https://t.co/pzEBdkor2X

In tomorrow's class we're discussing the influence of Christian oral practices (preaching, prayer, scripture recitation, prophecy) and spoken word poets from Jos in Northern Nigeria with the great @dougkaze #religionpopularculture

The joy of teaching when you show up on zoom to cancel a class, and you end up having an hour long conversation with students and co-teachers on representations of religion in cinema, Somali poetry and politics, football and religious plurality, @ReligionPopular
