  • Holy Dysfunction
    God enters the world in infinite ways. For Christians, the most important way was through a blended, non-traditional family with very imperfect ancestors.
  • Turn on the Lamps
    We want a glimpse of the face of God, reassuring us that we are not alone, that the cycle of death and rebirth has not stalled but will continue.
  • With or From?
    Invasive species tend to take over and cause all kinds of problems, and there’s no species more invasive than humans. We’ve left no corner of the planet untouched.
  • Delights of Discipline
    ‘Discipline’ can be overused when it comes from a disciplinarian with an axe to grind. But discipline – the steady practices of disciples – can lead to wonders, too.
  • Advent’s Thirst
    A week before Christmas, we may know the psalmist’s thirst. We may feel their loneliness. If that’s true for you, take time to drink and drink and drink in the river of God’s love.

  • Congress takes up COVID origins: A primer on the debate so far
    Republicans say they’re trying to get answers on how the pandemic started, but others worry a partisan probe will muddy the waters.
  • Memphis’ question: Can we have tough policing without brutality?
    Tyre Nichols’ death highlighted how one Memphis police unit spiraled out of control, turning from an attempt at tough policing into inhumanity.
  • ‘Mutual aid’ is a radical ideal. Some live its communal spirit.
    The pandemic saw neighborly care expand in varied ways. For mutual aid societies, the effort reflected visions of society based on communal solidarity.
  • Build, expand, or repair? States compete for infrastructure funding.
    A new U.S. federal infrastructure law has led to competition for grant money among state and local officials. The Biden administration has been favoring repair projects over expansion or construction, leaving many wondering what the priority should be.
  • As Memphis mourns Tyre Nichols, city seeks police accountability
    Officials’ response to the Memphis police killing of Tyre Nichols suggests that calls for accountability might be taking hold.

  • Some Addiction Treatment Centers Turn Big Profits by Scaling Back Care
    Private equity groups are cashing in on rising rates of alcohol and drug addiction in the U.S. But they aren’t necessarily investing in centers with the best treatment standards, and they often cut extra services.
  • It’s ‘Telehealth vs. No Care’: Doctors Say Congress Risks Leaving Patients Vulnerable
    Congress’ $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package included a two-year extension of pandemic-era funding that helped telehealth services grow nationwide. But that cash bridge, embraced by those delivering services to patients in rural areas, doesn’t provide much certainty for the future of remote medicine.

  • Letters to the Editor (Resurrecting this Historical Section): Redefining Anthropology?
    Editor’s Note The lifeblood of science and social science is competition among ideas in healthy debate testing scholarly standards and findings. In recent years, as standards have begun to disappear in social science and as journals begin to advocate for doctrine in place of social science and discipline, the opportunity to challenge colleagues (and editors) […]
  • Returning Discipline to the Discipline: A Model Procedure for Reviews in Anthropology, Social Sciences, and Other Related Disciplines
    This piece uses participant observation of and research into disciplinary procedures to reveal that review policies in anthropology, other ‘social sciences’, and related disciplines have become arbitrary and politicised with little to protect professional standards of a discipline and to avoid conflicts of interest that prejudice scholarship. To address the problem, this piece takes the […]

Are globally renowned universities teaching economics in ways that violate international law? Can […]
