This week, we are delighted to feature @SavHFin and her research on religion as legal category in discourses of abortion and how such competing rhetorics shape the ways we think about categories of "religion," "person," and "citizen." https://t.co/zwZvsigVOP

#RSPresponse Ioannis Gaitanidis (@YanisuG) responds to our ep w/ Mitsutoshi Horii. Gaitanidis highlights Horii's analysis of the public benefit-aspect of religion in Japan & pushes further our deconstructive analyses for the critical study of religion.

RS folx: What are your favorite texts to use to teach intro-level students about some of the problems with and benefits of comparison-as-method? Ideally looking for a short, easily readable chapter! TIA!

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

We're seeing now exactly why every big company is fighting against universal health care.

Decouple health insurance from work and people are free to quit their bad jobs.

If people quit their bad jobs, companies will have to pay living wages to attract workers.

Can't have that.

I wrote a little something.

New interest in Eastern Christianity, new evidence, and the multiple roles of the academic study of religion.

Thanks @SavHFin & @d_g_robertson for reaching out to and working with me!
