But reading the scholarship with that test in mind, consciously, preponderantly - "go on then, change my view!" - is hopeless, pompous. (I am prone to do just that with too much art history, which is why I read so little and give up on so much.)
The poems cropped up unexpectedly: having stumbled into them, I'l try to bring them to a finish, though I know I am out of my depth. At least the ones on Pointel and Félibien will give me something to look for in the Poussin scholarship. Ultimately I think the test, or point, of art-historical writing is whether it manages to change one's view of the work of art it centers on. But reading the scholarship with that test in mind, consciously, preponderantly - "go on then, change my view!" - is hopeless, pompous. (I am prone to do just that with too much art his-tory, which is why I read so little and give up on so much.) If I read instrumentally, on the other hand, for the sake of the poems, then with a bit of luck the effect on my understanding of the paintings, and how I write about them, will be more indirect - less superintended. This sounds as if I'm mainly interested in the poems tactically, as steps to more flexible prose; but that's the opposite of the case. I mean to make poems, not poetical exercises; and yes, I do think a good poem about Poussin would be the highest form of criticism. Bad poems, however... And especially bad poems about paintings... What is it about the genre?...

The collection thus moves beyond the common concern for policies and institutions in post-growth scholarship while also calling on infrastructural studies to take questions of (post-)growth more seriously. /3

A classmate in HS who got it in college had Multiple limb amputations. She’d been on gymnastics scholarship. Heartbreaking. I thought colleges required the vax but I guess it’s not foolproof?

It's really a huge number of things that seem to be stuck in really old scholarship and hackery.

Chief justice John Roberts never had much use for legal scholarship.
A wonderful observation by the author of a nice article on birthright citizenship.

To modern Christians today, it's not easy to wrap your head around how anything of this got to do with Yahweh or Jesus.

This is where new scholarship gives new insight.

You see, Paul might not thought like late 2nd century Early Christians that used The Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity came later.

While applying for scholarships, Poppy felt a sense of dread. If her own over-achieving twin couldn’t score even one scholarship, Poppy certainly didn’t stand a chance. Was college even in the cards for her?

As she finished up, she allowed herself to feel accomplished… and a little nauseous?

Research Is Not Enough: Public Engagement and the Citizen Scholar Philip N. Cohen (University of Maryland) January 14, 2026 12:00 - 1:15 p.m. PT CCPR Seminar 4240 Pub Aff Building UCLA Campus What is the role of professional scholars in civic life? How and why should academics seek to reach audiences beyond their disciplines and institutions? Must there be tension between advancing along an academic career path and taking part in public conversations, or can these goals reinforce each other? Drawing from personal experience and in-depth research, this talk features straightforward advice that acknowledges professional risks as well as rewards. Cohen embraces the reciprocal relationship between professional scholarship and active citizenship. arguing that aligning personal and vocational identities can enhance both public and academic contributions. He explores intellectual work on social media, science communication, political activism, and how to build trust while developing a public intellectual identity.

Do we know if the Romans (or any of the various Greek states) themselves were aware of this difference during their conflicts? Or even after the dust had settled?

Or is this just something we have figured out in modern scholarship?

One of the puzzles in scholarship about Early Christianity is the link between Yahweh and Set among the Sethians, which where located in Egypt and Palestine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethian...

It's about the origin of Sethianism.

Recent scholarship on Paul might give some new insights.

I’m still trying to raise money for the Houston Rodeo’s scholarship fund. College and education was the most important part of getting where I am today. Please think about helping the next generation achieve that as well.

Please DM me if you’re interested. I might even through in an oink video.

University of Georgia senior Finn Walsh will build on her studies in infectious disease next fall as UGA’s newest Marshall Scholar. The scholarship is among the most selective graduate awards for Americans. UGA was the only institution in Georgia to have a recipient!

Last month, OSOD submitted comments with concerns about federal vouchers:
❌ Harm to students, public schools, and our communities
🔎 Lack of accountability and transparency
⚖️ Equity, civil rights, & nondiscrimination concerns

Full comments: bit.ly/OSODinAction

#txed
The main image is the Our Schools Our Democracy logo above the headline "OSOD submits comments on federal voucher rules" above the image of the US Capitol. On the right is a box of text that reads: The federal voucher program will harm students, public schools, and communities. There is no consistent evidence of educational benefit for students who use vouchers compared to public school peers. Families can lose essential legal protections when they use vouchers, and private schools receiving voucher funds often reject or exclude students with disabilities, English learners, LGBTQ+ students, pregnant or parenting students, and others based on religious or ideological criteria. Voucher programs historically reinforce and exacerbate segregation by race and socioeconomic status. Diverting public funds to vouchers drains resources from neighborhood public schools that serve 90% of students nationwide and — in Texas — form the backbone of educational opportunity and community cohesion. The background is a faded photo of US Capitol. On the left is a box of text that reads: Constitutional conflicts in Texas. Texas maintains clear constitutional protections for public education that prohibit the allocation of public funds to private schooling. The Texas Constitution’s Article 7, Section 1 mandates an “efficient system of public free schools,” and Article 1, Section 7 prohibits public funding of religious instruction. Lack of accountability and transparency. Unlike public schools, private schools and scholarship-granting organizations have limited or no accountability for how public funds are used, who benefits, and what educational outcomes result. Current state tax credit voucher programs demonstrate pervasive fraud, waste, and abuse, including funds spent on non-educational goods and services. Any federal regulation should require robust, publicly accessible data and reporting. The background is a faded photo of US Capitol. On the right is a box of text that reads: Equity, civil rights, and nondiscrimination concerns. As required by federal law, public education guarantees civil rights protections that private entities receiving public funds under a voucher scheme do not have to honor. Under the proposed tax credit program, public taxpayer dollars could subsidize discriminatory practices and deny students essential civil rights. Alternatives to diverting public funds. Federal policy should focus on strengthening and adequately funding our public schools — not undermining them. Public tax dollars should remain dedicated to public education — a constitutional commitment in Texas and a fundamental civic responsibility. For educational, constitutional, fiscal transparency, and civil rights reasons, OSOD strongly opposes the federal tax credit voucher program. The background is a faded photo of US Capitol.
