This story directly ties Russian Orthodox politics to US gunvangelism and right wing activism made possible by media “affective infrastructures” in US and Russia…⁦@CUBoulder_CMRC⁩ ⁦@AntheaButler⁩ ⁦@sarahposner⁩ ⁦@GorskiPhilip⁩ nytimes.com/2022/07/03/us/…

"I entered my Studies in Religion major with an awfully patronising view of religious people, thinking that I would be validated in that, and I came out with a far more nuanced perspective." @ArtsUsyd bit.ly/2QqvvYo

Congrats to our very own @nechchai for winning Best Faculty Paper for his work on the politics of movement!

An excellent piece...new/old fascism as weaponized nostalgia... weaponized in large measure by media...and invigorated by religion ⁦@CUBoulder_CMRC⁩ ⁦@sbanetweiser⁩ ⁦@sarahposner⁩ ⁦@dat_campbell⁩ #capitolsiegereligion culanth.org/fieldsights/th…

Can anyone really doubt anymore that we have to understand how religion is a major element of race/gender/class politics? Culturalist media scholars take note! ⁦@CUBoulder_CMRC⁩ ⁦@nechchai⁩ ⁦@sbanetweiser⁩ #capitolsiegereligion theguardian.com/world/2021/apr…

@nechchai The only thing that temporarily slowed this epidemic of mass shootings was the epidemic that killed 500,000+ ... none of that is OK.

@nechchai Words fail.... and it’s close to home so there’s real anxiety I might know one or more victims... or

As I said yesterday...seemingly a toxic mix of religion, masculinity, guns, misogyny, and now I’ll add media cultures—social and otherwise... ⁦@CUBoulder_CMRC⁩ ⁦@AntheaButler⁩ religionnews.com/2021/03/17/atl…

Tomorrow we welcome @AntheaButler as a guest to our #CMRCseminar.

A pivot away from Trump...and toward the apocalypse!!! Just the latest example of how religions today are “brand cultures...” ⁦@CUBoulder_CMRC⁩ ⁦@dat_campbell⁩ ⁦@nechchai⁩ ⁦@sarahposner⁩ ⁦@AntheaButler⁩ washingtonpost.com/religion/jerem…

We’re looking forward to hosting @madianou at #CMRCseminar tomorrow.

Eerily similar to the talk about the dangers of analog televangism 40 years ago..... and predicted by our upcoming book The Third Spaces of Digital Religion!!! ⁦@CMRC_CUBoulder⁩ ⁦@AntheaButler⁩ ⁦@nechchai⁩ ⁦@KrissyPetey⁩ nytimes.com/2021/03/05/opi…

We’re looking forward to welcoming @MKraidy to our virtual #CMRCseminar tomorrow.

Seeing some people sharing rejections/acceptances into grad school. I was rejected from every single program, every obscure uni in every European country. Then, I got into my very top choice at the best program ever at @CUBoulder_CMRC. Hope this gives people some optimism!

Students, still need BCR credit? Join us for an engaging presentation from @CUBoulder's @nechchai as he uses examples from popular culture & art, to discuss how to speak as Muslims and of Muslims away from the paranoia of terror and the politics of suspicion. Click ⬇️ for more.
