Sometimes I have some thoughts about some things relating to religious studies…
Surprise! Another new entry up on our blog this week! Why does PhD Student Savannah Finver think it’s important to study religion? Watch her share her thoughts at:

Thanks @PhDs2Follow for showcasing some of my current work, and thanks @climberdanjones for recommending me☺️
This week, we are delighted to feature @SavHFin and her research on religion as legal category in discourses of abortion and how such competing rhetorics shape the ways we think about categories of "religion," "person," and "citizen." phdstudentstofollow.wordpres…
Read it!
#RSPresponse Ioannis Gaitanidis (@YanisuG) responds to our ep w/ Mitsutoshi Horii. Gaitanidis highlights Horii's analysis of the public benefit-aspect of religion in Japan & pushes further our deconstructive analyses for the critical study of religion.

RS folx: What are your favorite texts to use to teach intro-level students about some of the problems with and benefits of comparison-as-method? Ideally looking for a short, easily readable chapter! TIA!

I’m excited to chat all things comparison with @jolyonbt on Oct. 8th! Will I be seeing you there??👀
The Center and OSU's Department of Comparative Studies are co-sponsoring a discussion with the great @jolyonbt on Friday, Oct. 8th. Registration is free via zoom, so consider joining us! I hope to see you there!
There’s nothing more exciting for me as a scholar and a thinker than a productive meeting with my supervisor! Learning to think about the world and my own values/commitments in new ways is exactly why I wanted to continue my education in the first place!
Always a pleasure to chat demons, politics, and critical methods with @demonologian! Don’t miss this fun and engaging episode of @ProjectRS!
Join Savannah H. Finver @SavHFin & Dr. S. Jonathon O'Donnell @demonologian as they talk demons, American politics, interdisciplinary methodologies, and the critical study of religion! Our newest episode is here: religiousstudiesproject.com/…
Pleased to be able to share I will henceforth be serving as the section chair for the Gender and Religion section of the Midwest Regional American Academy of Religion (MAAR)! Many thanks to Spencer Dew for drawing my attention to this exciting opportunity and making this possible

My supervisor told me yesterday that he’s going have me start the process of getting my reading lists together for comps on my own and I feel a bit like someone just snatched the training wheels off my bike!😅 #GradLife

Final papers and projects are just about due, so like the productive student I am, I spent all morning yesterday writing a blog post!

I feel like someone needs to communicate to all profs everywhere that changing the stakes of final assignments 2-4 weeks before they’re due is not kosher!!! Especially when those assignments are collaborative projects (which take double time to execute during COVID).

I’ve tried to hint at least once per class all semester to my professor (a folklorist) that religion & politics are not as “separate” as most folx want to think, but she keeps bringing it up and dismissing my remarks every time🧐🤔
