This has been a devastating loss for so many in the Princeton community and beyond. Alison was a wonderful scholar, teacher, mentor, colleague, and community member and it was a privilege to have known her.

A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

A great program is in trouble due to direct, political interference by administration. Jewish Studies is only to be allowed to serve the purposes of the U.S. and Israeli states. Brought to you once again by the embattled student journalists of the Indiana Daily Student.

This beautiful work is so worth your time. It is an amazing resource for #AcRel scholars, teachers, students and anyone interested in the history of progressive Christianity, religion and sexuality in America, and more.

Congratulations to my Princeton Religion colleague, Leora Batnitzky, and co-editors on this publication (that features a chapter by Princeton Religion graduate alum @rachelbgross.bsky.social).

Link for donations to Western Alaska relief for those affected by the flooding through the Alaska Community Foundation.

'“Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic,” Joe Maligno...wrote' 'Many of the chat members already work inside government or party politics, and one serves as a state senator.'

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities. alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

“We may be past the point of no return, but at a minimum we ought to … assess where we are, and what we’re losing when we fully cashier robust support for Humanities research. The Humanities are us.” Feels like a(nother) good day to share this. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/02/t...

“Dahomey” documents the return of 26 Danxomèan treasures to Bénin from France. Much of the film focuses on the slow labor of handling the priceless artifacts & the voices of the curators. The irony, however, is the silence of the film’s “nonskilled” laborers.

this poem is astonishing and I am so grateful to Eileen for bringing it to our attention last year & again this year.

I'm looking foward to talking about my work at Penn later this week.
