Very short. But then you’ve got space for a longer description….so what’s the point…
Great colour and always a big fan of @sarahparkhouse.bsky.social!!
“It is imperative that we recognize, even if belatedly, those few black pioneers of the decades before the initiatives of Hoyt and Waters—the likes of Leon Edward Wright; Charles B. Copher; G. Murray Branch; and Joseph A. Johnson. We must inscribe them and a few others into our full organizational consciousness and memory. These few are no longer with us; they have yet to be fully claimed and recognized. They struggled mightily to figure out how to speak to the challenges and pressures of the different worlds they intersected as black male intellectuals on the peripheries of the field.” —Vincent L. Wimbush

Legislation and Christians author: James Corke-Webster Abstract This article challenges the long-established orthodoxy concerning the legal basis of the persecution of Christians under the Roman empire. First, it demonstrates the problems with the current consensus, which holds both that the only extant legal enactment pertinent to the persecution of Christians before Decius is the rescript of Trajan to Pliny, and that Christians were always charged for their name alone. Second, it tests an alternative hypothesis, that Christians could be charged with multiple crimes, as part of the routine litigious culture of the empire, and that this was periodically exacerbated by legal enactments that did not target Christians but could be mobilised against them.
this looks very very interesting!

Oh boy
My first thought as well. Serious security breach.
Leaving was hard---I posted a *lot*, I liked it (circa 2012 or so was ideal), and I had built up a lot of stuff over there
Available now in Open Access — free to browse and download. I’m thrilled that this book is finally seeing the light of day. It’s been quite the journey. Many thanks to all the friends and colleagues who helped me along the way!
Well it has been a while, but I'm back here (for now). Wanted to show off my newest article:
In this article I argue the need for a new analysis of Standard English and how it functions in class struggle (as a weapon of the capitalist class).

New edition. Want a copy? I’ll send one to the person currently in an undergrad or grad program who gets the most likes for a reply here that says why studying religion matters. Let’s give it a week or so. Go!
Ancient imperial iconography, like this relief of Xerxes I, frequently plays with size to make the ruler appear larger than subjects, displaying an ancient appreciation for the power of frame mogging.

There is a major final paper. Last three weeks of the seminar are in class writing workshop where we workshop final papers.
I do expect them to go outside of the readings. They usually do (1-2 in their specific area). Longer than 1500 words.
Papers are marked on completion. I give feedback on the writing. students have been killing it
