    Excited to finally be starting my job ! Looking forward to teaching my first course here in Fall, an introduction to religious studies class where student projects will include autobiographical writing, collectively authoring policy briefs, and engaging with weirdness

    Eric Garner is dead. His daughter became an activist on behalf of her father. She is dead now too. Ramsey Orta recorded the incident and is in solitary confinement. But the cop involved is good to go. And the mayor is running for president as if this isn’t on him too.
