Did you know The Matrix inspired an actual, practiced religion? Founded in 2004, Matrixism proves that the line between Hollywood sci-fi and real-world spirituality can be razor-thin.

What if I told you The Matrix isn't just a movie, but the foundation for actual real-world religions? 🕶️💊 From "Matrixism" to obscure cyber-gnostic Pagan cults that believe the Pope harvests our energy like a human battery.

Éducation Populaire : la fabrique de l’avant-garde ?

L'éducation populaire est insaisissable : l'État la neutralise, elle renaît ailleurs.

I've never had so much difficulty finding PAA sessions to which to send a paper. Usually a couple of sessions are feasible matches. This year I struggled to find 1 good match, and my backup is a stretch.

I don't know if that says something about the PAA program, about me, or both!

Fascinating study of video data on class differences in parenting styles about food and mealtimes. Class differences in parenting styles are fairly weak and the boundaries blurry.

#socsky: a good addition to syllabus if you teach Lareau or Bourdieu, or more generally about social class "cultures."

Think Slavic fairytales are for kids? Think again. From child-eating Baba Yaga to the deadly Leshy and vengeful water spirits, Slavic demonology is fascinating, yet largely unknown. Check my introduction to Slavic demonology!

Guilt is private; accountability is structural. You can feel guilty alone in a room & nothing changes. Accountability requires you to face the one you harmed & alter the conditions that made the harm possible. #SocSky #Philsci

The Soviet system seemed unshakeable until its architecture of belief failed—and the entire thing collapsed in months. Belief systems fail because their structure can't carry values through change/adversity. Same is happening now:
