Does anyone have advice or resources on looking for alt ac jobs for a humanities PhD?
I'm having no luck on the academic job market and need to start branching out, but I'm not really sure where to look. I'd be heartbroken to give up on teaching, but I need a job.

one real problem with contemporary evangelicalism is the tendency to try and appeal to the Hebrew proof texts without reading any Hebrew outside of specific concepts used in sermons
The brief discussion of the Hebrew is also just not true. It treats the prepositional כנגדו (comparative prepositional prefix; נגד, also a preposition meaning opposite, corresponding to, in front of, facing, etc; then the third person possessive suffix) as if it were a noun without any citations

This attitude is how you end up with light novel titles.

Weirdly enough I actually wrote my masters thesis on the naming conventions of far left parties in the U.K. These are all very distinctly post-old left. No reference to any of the most common 20th century terms: “workers”, “revolutionary”, “communist”, “socialist”, “Marxist”, or even “international”

Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

Anyway my point here is that you can argue whatever you want in a college essay the point of them is to learn how to write essays and do research and argue a point. If the teacher failed her for lacking empirical evidence and offense they're missing the problem with this student.
You know, the article says she cites the bible, but I do not see any commonly accepted biblical citation style. The teacher called out lack of empirical evidence and that it was offensive. The most offensive thing is the grammar and lack of structure.
