Outside the Default Path: A Pagan Reading of the Federal “Anti-Christian Bias” Report
A reflective Pagan perspective on the federal government’s anti-Christian bias report, exploring how religious freedom can feel very different for Americans outside the cultural mainstream. Through personal experience, civic observation, and reflections on pluralism, this essay examines the difference between protecting faith and centering one faith above others.
I am co-organising this very fun Summer School in Rome, July this year.
If you are are critical economist, law scholar, or political economists, come share your work, and reflect with us about perspectives, schools of thought, and global epistemological structures and hierachies.
This summer school aims to map some of the methods and theories involved in research related to economics, law and political economy. What rhetorical economies and conceptual grammars are available? How do they engage each other? What do they foreground and background? Where do they share or differ in style or logic? What are the economies of this academic knowledge-production (i.e., its institutional arrangements, implicit professional codes)? How might different disciplinary toolkits be productively put into conversation? Are certain practices, words or themes key to understanding our current world of struggle? Participants interested in these types of questions across disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
