    An Updated Consideration of the Urapmin's Utilization of Rapid Religious Change with Joel Robbins

    In a world of swift and sweeping cultural transformations, few have seen changes as rapid and dramatic as those experienced by the Urapmin of Papua New Guinea in the last four decades. A remote people never directly "missionized," the Urapmin began in the 1960s to send young men to study with Baptist missionaries living among neighboring communities. By the late 1970s, the Urapmin had undergone a charismatic revival, abandoning their traditional religion for a Christianity intensely focused on human sinfulness and driven by a constant sense of millennial expectation. Exploring the Christian culture of the Urapmin, Joel Robbins shows how its preoccupations provide keys to understanding the nature of cultural change more generally.

    Tik tok, tick tock: Time, religion & news--Debra Mason Lecture

    Time is one of the central problems in both journalism and religion. For the study of religion, categorizing patterns of behavior and trends into neat epochs or eras is complicated the more we learn about a phenomenon and what makes it unique. In journalism, the time we have to capture an audience’s attention and the types of content that appeal to large audiences changes nearly every few months. Why is time a complicating problem for journalists seeking to include diverse scholars in their stories and what do we see on the horizon for both religious and news literacy? How might we be allies together, rather than at cross-purposes, as is so often the case.
