Christian Nationalism is Reshaping Fertility Rights, and Books Dominate at the Oscars

Fri, 23 Feb 2024

An Alabama Supreme Court ruling on frozen embryos threatens fertility treatments across the state.

Matthew D. Taylor [@TaylorMatthewD], senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, & Jewish Studies, on how a particular strain of Christian Nationalism, once on the fringe of America’s religious landscape, is slowly emerging as a political force. Listen.  2. Alexander Manshel [@XanderManshel], assistant professor of English at McGill University and author of Writing Backwards: Historical Fiction and the Reshaping of the American Canon, on how literary prizes have changed over the last few decades, and how much they actually matter.
