Ghana may be the next location for a major global site of religious tourism--here's what the planned National Cathedral says about religion & politics in Africa today (my newest piece for The Conversation): https://t.co/XvJNz5ybdq

@cygraham_graham @raulpacheco @Prof_FSultana Agree wholeheartedly with this. What are best texts out there for giving students this deeper ethics training? I’ve read in feminist/postcolonial epistemology for my own purposes but wonder what texts on ethics exist for current soc science training contexts

@SpireJim I can’t wait to read this. Thank you for documenting and teaching those of us on this side!

@profsamperry @Jacob___Shively Whereas in industrialized nations material security is found in the job market, the social safety net, and the nuclear family system

[N. Manglos-Weber @ManglosWeber]

@profsamperry @Jacob___Shively I think Norris and Inglehart are on to something but off base about the mechanism. It’s not (just) about how religion makes ppl FEEL more existentially secure in insecure contexts, it’s about how ppl find actual social and material security in religious communities and networks

@DromiShai @AYoungJr @heavenwasblue I really can’t wait to read this—we sooo need more attention to these issues in the field

@caitiedelaney My high school crew watched this literally every weekend. And quoted it constantly ❤️ what a gem

[N. Manglos-Weber @ManglosWeber]

@gina_zurlo @HarvardDivinity That’s fantastic, Gina!

[N. Manglos-Weber @ManglosWeber]

@anthonympetro Oh, I for one am way more annoyed by the former

@avaunt_la_garde @Momademia Agree with the safe bedsharing advice. Put a mattress on the floor for a bit if possible! And keep trying to put the baby down drowsy for a bit each night, even if it doesn’t work at first!
