Next week marks the launch of our new newsletter format. This week we stick with our oldie-but-a-goodie.
On TSP this week we highlighted research contextualizing cultural change and the church. Our partner and community pages wrote on orientalism and the media, the risk of genocide in Afghanistan, and queer recruitment panic. Plus, a new podcast from Give Theory a Chance.
There’s Research on That!
