How Christians Vary in their Awareness of God

Last updated on: April 25, 2014 at 7:12 am By Bradley Wright

The SoulPulse study has taken two years and a bunch of money to develop, and the figure addresses an obvious first question of the study: Do Christians’ vary in their awareness of God. As show, the answer is a resounding “yes,” but this raises more questions than it answers. (more…) Read more

Was Opposition to Interracial Marriage Motivated by Christianity?

Last updated on: April 18, 2014 at 4:36 pm By George Yancey

A good deal of the controversy over same-sex marriage has been linked to the comparison of it to interracial marriage. Merely perusing the articles, comments and debates reveals that many believe that same-sex marriage today is what interracial marriage was in the past. That may be. But one argument in particular that has caught my attention is that just as Christianity is the major force opposing same-sex marriage today, it was the major force opposing interracial marriage in the past....

Revisiting “Compromising Scholarship”

Last updated on: April 3, 2014 at 7:58 am By George Yancey

Three years ago my book Compromising Scholarship was published. To the best of my knowledge, it was the first systematic documentation of political and religious academic bias. Since then, other information on this topic has come out, and I have had a chance to see responses to the book. Based on both this new information and these responses, I have become even more convinced that this bias, particularly as it concerns conservative Christians, is a real problem. I have also...

God is Not Dead and This is Not What Anti-Christian Animosity Looks Like

Last updated on: March 27, 2014 at 5:30 am By George Yancey

It is quite dangerous to talk about a movie one has not yet seen. Indeed I want to make very clear that this is not a movie review. I have not seen God is not Dead and I cannot comment on the acting, directing, camera work etc. If anyone wants to say Kevin Sorbo deserves an Oscar for his performance, I have no basis to argue with him/her. The only thing I want to evaluate is the main premise of... Read more

Media Matters but Not as Much as Propaganda

Last updated on: March 16, 2014 at 4:04 pm By George Yancey

Well quite a bit has happened since my last blog. This month I had an article come out in Academic Questions. In that paper I did a critical analysis of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to illustrate one of the consequences of the political imbalance in academia – that progressive organizations generally do not have to undergo critical scrutiny from academics. I have published a little thought piece before in this journal and not much attention was paid to... Read more

Loneliness and Our Social Brain

Last updated on: April 6, 2014 at 9:07 pm By Margarita A. Mooney

How is your happiness project at Yale going? a friend recently asked. It’s going great! I’m reading the best book ever, I replied. It’s on loneliness. Huh? Loneliness and happiness may seem like strange bedfellows, but the University of Chicago psychologist and social neuroscientist John Cacioppo does an excellent job of defining loneliness as a basic human drive for social connection. In his book called Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, he writes: “Feeling lonely at any... Read more

Academic Bias? – Does it Affect Business Professors?

Last updated on: February 24, 2014 at 8:20 pm By George Yancey

My previous book, Compromising Scholarship, documented the willingness of academics to engage in political and religious bias. One of the criticisms I have heard about that work is that occupational bias is not limited to social scientists, physical scientists and professors in the humanities. This is obviously true. I have never argued that social bias is only found among academics. My goal was to show that scholars who prided themselves on being inclusive may not be quite as inclusive as... Read more

Small Acts of Love Go a Long Way

Last updated on: February 18, 2014 at 8:45 pm By Margarita A. Mooney

Guest Blog by Christina Bradley. Yale Class of 2016. Member of the Calhoun Happiness Project. February can be a dreary month; especially amidst the snowstorms and midterms. However, love was in the air Tuesday, February 4th, as the Calhoun Happiness Project discussed Love 2.0 by Barbara Fredrickson. One of the leading researchers about positive emotions at UNC, Fredrickson’s words presented our group with a new spin on a familiar emotion. She states that, “Love is that micro-moment of warmth and connection that... Read more

Economic Choices, the Media, and Racism

Last updated on: February 17, 2014 at 4:13 pm By Amy Reynolds

At the end of 2013, I wrote a blog post entitled, “The Problem with Giving Tuesday,” where I suggested that we have a responsibility and Christian mandate to more seriously reflect on our economic purchases and decisions. I also noted that I was changing my consumption behavior when it came to chocolate – a decision that continues to prove challenging.This is a follow-up blog. As we study about systems (like the chocolate trade), we learn the problems are bigger than... Read more

Height and Romance

Last updated on: February 13, 2014 at 10:55 pm By George Yancey

A few years ago when I was still single I had my good friend Michael Emerson spend the night with me. We went out to dinner and I regaled him with stories of my exciting adventures as a single man (that did not take very long). I also talked to him about surprising lessons I had learned. One of the biggest surprises was the advantage tall men gained due to their height. That was good for me since I am... Read more
