Interesting insights here on a number of important topics, and look for links to two other summaries cowritten with @rbthisted on @americanacad data on religion departments #humanities #acrel #highered

[American Academy of Religion @AARWeb]

In the third in a series of reports, Robert Townsend and Josh Patterson analyze religious studies departments’ engagement with digital skills in the curriculum, pre-pandemic use of online education, and support for student careers. https://t.co/QdIfhYp063

@38Godfrey @celebrityhottub @SplitZoneDuo So much for not being a scoop guy

@edsbs A semiannual reminder of that time I traveled abroad before SIM cards and landed to a voicemail from my mom saying my dad had been electrocuted. My first reaction, unwillfully, was to remember that the actual definition of electrocution includes death. Mom was unaware

@38Godfrey Macon, GA is a textbook example of every kind of structural racism, you could teach a seminar on segregation with a well-planned walking tour (not in July)

@jonbecker @Dcollier74 @bakerdphd they also have some example proposals posted that you could use as a reference: https://t.co/JJWBwNFZ8u

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@jonbecker @Dcollier74 @bakerdphd I'm surprised it's not documented in the CFP, but I couldn't find an outline either. The last one I sent in had Purpose (RQs), Framework + Lit, Method, Data, Results, and Findings. Here's an image of the review criteria from a few years ago, I don't know if they've been changed

@_Zeets yep, it's gonna be harder for them to glom on to other people's credibility if credible people opt out, they're learning how signifiers work! It's kinda cute if you don't think too hard about it

@cant_b well at least now you know what TV show the teacher watches

There's almost no one left #onhere, but I don't know where else to post this... I got two R&R's this month!

@thejasonkirk does the University of Austin have a football team yet?

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@RileyWryly They definitely would not understand, but that sort of illustrates the point, I think.

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@ToddZola @TheNFBC I have the same first 3, except I took JTR and then Varsho. Still in round 4 in our draft but it's interesting to see how you're playing this out. Let's compare notes at the end (I'm in league 9)

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@Dcollier74 @JSFAtweets @rkelchen Works for me! It's an interesting contrast to reviewing conference proposals, for example, where it's pretty clear how to volunteer and be of service

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@Dcollier74 It's only weird now because obviously the need is there, but there's not an easy way for us "alt-ac" s to connect with the system

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@Dcollier74 That makes sense, and in a universe where reviewing is something needed by people on the tenure track, I wouldn't want to insert myself, because service is not a part of my job, it really is just a way to give back to the field

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@Dcollier74 That'd be my guess, but I can never write off the possibility that people just don't like me, personally. Seriously though, I do think there's also a structural piece where those of us outside the academy are just less visible to editors/not a part of those conversations any more

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@Dcollier74 The answer could always just be that no one wants ME to be a reviewer either because of niche research interests or some personal failing on my part, but I'm genuinely surprised given what I know about how hard it is to get reviewers right now

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@Dcollier74 Semi-related, but I've taken a job outside academia and in the 2+ years since I graduated I've only been asked to review one article. I'm sure I could be more diligent about connecting with editors, but I suspect there's a strong preference for reviewers still working in academia

[Josh Patterson, Ph. D. @theJoshPhD]

@ryanburge @RNS Pretty interesting that the nones scored higher than atheist and agnostic respondents. What do you make of that?
