Flyer for talk KIRK LECTURE BOOK PANEL Capitalism and the Future of Democracy Wednesday, April 22,4:30 p.m. Sturm Hall, Lindsay Auditorium (online and in person) This panel asks: Is capitalism compatible with democracy? And how can we better understand the moral frameworks that sustain or challenge these systems? Drawing on Lucia Hulsether's Capitalist Humanitarianism, panelists will explore how ethical ideals like charity, freedom, and justice, shape political and economic life through a religious studies lens. The panelists reflections examine how capitalism absorbs moral critique, often reframing inequality as ethical opportunity. The session features brief reflections from Religious Studies and DU-Iliff Joint Doctoral Program students, a response from Dr. Hulsether, and a moderated Q&A, inviting the community to engage some defining questions of our time. Panelists: • Zane Johnson, DU-Iliff Joint Doctoral Program for the Study of Religion, Student • Devyn Whitaker, Master of Arts in Religious Studies, Student Kirsten Dalquist, DU-lliff Joint Doctoral Program for the Study of Religion, Student • Andrew Robb-Scott, DU-Iliff Joint Doctoral Program for the Study of Religion, Student David Kemp, DU-lliff Joint Doctoral Program for the Study of Religion, Candidate College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences UNIVERSITY OF DENVER Live Stream Also Available RSVP

A small stone bridge in the shadow of Muckish Mountain in Glenveagh National Park, County Donegal

This is the Bridge of Tears in County Donegal

This small bridge provides a harsh and tragic counterpoint to the grandeur of the nearby Glenveagh Castle.

It was here where many took their farewells from their families before crossing the bridge as a first step towards emigration.

Makeshift Gaza university offers chance to resurrect academic studies Solar-powered halls create academic lifelines for Gaza students battling war's aftermath and scarce resources.

“All the materials you see here were sourced from inside {Gaza}” Abu Daqqa said.... “We had to work within what was available, w rising costs and scarcity of resources...we were determined to create something that gives students a sense of normalcy”

Apropos of nothing, just block the white women who start jumping into the replies of women scholars of color & picking fights. You'll notice their following on here isn't as big as they believe they deserve and public fights are a learned antisocial carryover behavior from Twitter's algorithm.

Can anyone advise - what are the earliest translations from Irish to English or English to Irish which can be used to help define early meanings of Irish words in English (medieval/ early modern) ? #gaeilge #spéirghorm #bearla #medievalsky

I wish everyone understood, Sec DUI considers himself an exemplary Christian and thinks in enacting his set of beliefs he is "A holy warrior enacting God's Plan" and in line w/ the 7 Mountains doctrine righteously enacting that plan on the tax payer dime w U.S. troops

PSA: "DO NOT set leprechaun traps" and additional considerations, a 🧵 re St. Patrick's day by @trans.bsky.social

It is but it also is lacking slightly in failing to acknowledge the role the Irish played in excluding Black workers from employment and unions within the US. Our solidarity is held out for victims, but we must also be called out for when we withhold it from others.

Aye

Academic women on social media are routinely confronted by (usually) men who have no expertise in their fields but whose only goal is to challenge that expertise.
‘Why don’t you do this’
‘Smile more’
We get it in conferences.
And classrooms.
We can smell the misogyny a mile off.
Just saying.

This tracks....way too hard.

I wish more of the public understood that Premillennialism has driven GOP support for Israel over decades. Bibi/Israel's' Right Wing has used this to maintain US support across party lines.
Conservative Protestants through white Christian Nationalists support a Israel to bring on the end times ⬇️

"For movement conservatism the attack on perceived wokeism only fits w 1st Amendment doctrine in certain situations, such as the defense of conservative speakers on campus In other situations, such as the attempted regulation of social media by red states, speech rules cut in the opposite direction"

US-ISRAELI ATTACKS ON IRAN KILL 201; IRAN FIRES BACK, BLASTS ACROSS REGION Explosions heard in Tehran, elsewhere, as Israel and US launches attacks; Iran retaliates, blasts across region.

While there are numerous aspects of the current military action taken by the U.S. and Israel against Iran that are anchored and sustained by religion, we suggest following news organizations with the capacity to cover these events across the region 🧵

Ethnic Cleansing
Seized children were made untraceable or disappeared into white Christian Nationalist institutions like Bethany Christian Services during the 1st regime
Adoption via these networks will likely be the regime's "humane alternative" to deaths they can't cover up in concentration camps

Looks like a post-punk trio doing the cover shoot for their next album

During Regime 1.0 they digitized ALL of the naturalization records. I've been muttering "Digital Windrush" ever since.

There was no reason to do this unless they were planning on using denaturalization for voter suppression, seizing social security/medicare $, ginning up grounds for deportation

IR US is for grad students and ECRs so that they can workshop a research project, practice presenting initial findings and more formally at conferences, integrate critical engagement and understand what it takes to revise and submit for publication. The best part: @drfstewart.bsky.social as a mentor
