, or reason? The question Tertullian poses is easy to ask, but has proven quite difficult to answer suitably. In recent years, some have suggested that important parallels between scientific and religious theorizing make it possible for us to look to science for help in thinking more clearly about religion.

November 29, 2011 Aaron Hushagen’s cool internship: 88.5 KPLU-FM By Steve Hansen Aaron Hushagen is a sociology major. He’s also an audiophile. So, during his senior year when he was taking an audio production class, he found himself thinking that he’d like to learn more about it.

It’s all about thinking about intersections. That sounds like a great discernment approach for news and social media engagement as well. I think so. One thing that students —  and all of us —  can ask ourselves is what kind of information am I consuming? I find that when students are asked to

high school shape how you teach now? Well, soon after I started there I had a lot of the underrepresented minority students in my classroom after school and during lunch. Just wanting to talk about their experiences in life. For many of them, I was their first Black teacher that they’ve ever had, and I taught 10th graders. That experience really opened my eyes to what I—as a Black woman in science and as an educator—represent. That was the moment where I started thinking that I really love science
