Political division feeling like a little much lately? Research from my book, "Faith and Community," shows that ideologically diverse congregations are actually warmer, friendlier places of worship. www.deseret.com/faith/2024/0...

I started a community based-research project in 2012 to learn how places of worship were engaging and to get my students experiential learning. 12 years, thousands of surveys, dozens of congregation partners, and hundreds of student researchers later, and it's one month to book publication day!

My students and community stakeholders convinced us that we need to share research and student stories through video, so here is one of our great students talking about their community-based research experiences! youtu.be/bbelDOe2dnc?...

This semester, I am teaching a #calderwood seminar, where students focus on public-facing writing. Here is the piece they collaboratively wrote about the restrictions women continue to face regarding their clothing choices this #IWD2024. So proud of them! www.rebeccaglazier.net/the-right-to...

I so enjoyed the very first APSA Virtual Research Meeting, #polisky friends! My sessions included so many young scholars and international scholars--loved being part of this accessible format. Great keynotes, fantastic religion and democracy working group, smart colleagues. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Would recommend!

I learned so much teaching American Government for the first time last fall! Putting student connection first made all the difference: www.rebeccaglazier.net/putting-conn.... I was surprised/happy to see the DFW rate dropping post-COVID. Things are changing in online teaching! #TeachLearnSky

“Imagine a social force that aids democracy, protects liberties, and builds citizen loyalty.” As renowned scholar and activist Dr. Allen Hertzke tells it in this engaging TEDx Talk, that force is religious freedom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uttw... First public writing from my seminar students! 🤩

Are you a junior (or any) political scientist who wants the exciting experience of chairing and/or discussing at a conference? 😃 Check this out! apsa.wufoo.com/forms/2024-v... You can register your interest for subject areas and even specific panels for @apsa.bsky.social's Virtual Research Meeting!

So happy to share the cover of my new book with everyone! "Faith and Community" will be published by Temple University Press next year and I love that we got to use a cover pic of one of the churches from the research.

I don’t usually share personal news here, but “joy is not made to be a crumb” (credit to Mary Oliver) and I am ridiculously happy, in love, and newly engaged! www.honeyfund.com/site/AndyReb...

polisky! I am super excited about APSA's brand new, all virtual conference. Innovative panels, roundtables, lighting rounds, etc., including on #SoTLSky and #TeachLearnSky, are all welcome. We get to create the conference we want! #APSAVRM connect.apsanet.org/virtual-rese...

I recorded a podcast with Arkansas Braver Angels, whose goal it is to facilitate dialogue across the political aisle.

Sharing data and results at local events is one of the best parts of community-based research. Loved speaking about how political and social engagement contributes to peace in our communities for Arkansas Peace Week!

This is so brilliant. I just read it and then said no to something that was not my business.

This article is now ⭐OPEN ACCESS⭐ so you can freely read about how students taking more online classes leads to declining success and retention. Maybe not a cheerful read, but an important one. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1057...

Happening now: the #APSA2023 Awards Ceremony, where I’m receiving the Distinguished Award for Civic and Community Engagement. But the strike changed my travel plans so I’m reading Harry Potter with my boy instead. Missing my colleagues and a fancy night…but not that much. 😉

The early weeks of the semester are a great time to build rapport with our students! Whether you have the mental space to put a little or a lot of effort into that, I have ideas to share (from Ch. 4 of my book, “Connecting in the Online Classroom”): www.rebeccaglazier.net/wp-content/u....
