My interview with @McCutcheonSays about the 2nd edition of Religion and the Domestication of Dissent is out @NewBooksNetwork! We chat about the book but more importantly we talk about the state of the field (spoiler: bleak) and what to do from the all-too-late place we're in now.

And, from a few weeks back with Judith Weisenfeld talking about her wonderful new book Black Religion in the Madhouse: Race and Psychiatry in Slavery’s Wake. I so enjoyed the conversation, and it’s always an honor to learn from Dr. Weisenfeld. Listen anywhere you get your pods!

Always in awe of my students, but especially today because of their willingness to show up, talk about their fears, and imagine ways to create and resist together. On a day when I didn’t want to show up and lead, they made it more than worth it 💙

You’re going to see a lot of people talk about community and I want to remind you that community doesn’t mean big or large, it means people who are intentionally invested in your well-being. Your friend group of two or three people is also a community.

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

It lives. Contributors should soon see their copy. And I have a few to give away—so reply here with your advice for something PhD programs can change/do to respond to our higher ed moment. The 2 or 3 comments with the most likes in a week get a book. @EQUINOXPUB
