On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources about broad cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. I wel\u00adcome your sug\u00adges\u00adtions, so if you read some\u00adthing fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading please pass it my way.<\/p>\n

A note to our new stu\u00addents: no, you don\u2019t have to read the whole thing. What a lot of Chi Alphans do is skim the list and find one or two that seem inter\u00adest\u00ading to them and open them in new tabs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure to read the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom.<\/p>\n

  1. Views among col\u00adlege stu\u00addents regard\u00ading the First Amend\u00adment: Results from a new sur\u00advey<\/span><\/a> (John Vil\u00adlasenor, Brook\u00adings Insti\u00adtu\u00adtion): \u201cStu\u00addents act as <\/span>de fac\u00adto<\/span><\/i> arbiters of free expres\u00adsion on cam\u00adpus. The Supreme Court jus\u00adtices are not stand\u00ading by at the entrances to pub\u00adlic uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty lec\u00adture halls ready to step in if First Amend\u00adment rights are cur\u00adtailed. If a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant per\u00adcent\u00adage of stu\u00addents believe that views they find offen\u00adsive should be silenced, those views will in fact be silenced.\u201d The author is an  <\/span>absurd\u00adly accom\u00adplished<\/span><\/a> Stan\u00adford grad: he is a simul\u00adta\u00adne\u00adous\u00adly a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of elec\u00adtri\u00adcal engi\u00adneer\u00ading and pub\u00adlic pol\u00adi\u00adcy while also serv\u00ading as a vis\u00adit\u00ading pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of law (all at at UCLA) as well as a senior fel\u00adlow at the Brook\u00adings Insti\u00adtu\u00adtion.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. I Went To North Korea: What You\u2019ve Heard vs What I Saw<\/span><\/a> (Mark Hill, Cracked): \u201cSev\u00aden care\u00adful\u00adly con\u00adtrolled days isn\u2019t enough time to become an expert in any coun\u00adtry, let alone one this com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded, and the best peo\u00adple to tell the sto\u00adry are Kore\u00adans them\u00adselves. But they\u2019re not real\u00adly avail\u00adable right now\u2026\u201d The arti\u00adcle is inter\u00adest\u00ading and most\u00adly con\u00adfirms my impres\u00adsions of North Korea.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Is Inter\u00adnet Porn Mak\u00ading Young Men Impo\u00adtent?<\/span><\/a> (EJ Dick\u00adson, Rolling Sto<\/span>ne): \u201cA num\u00adber of fac\u00adtors have been spec\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded as being behind this trend, from eat\u00ading processed foods to tak\u00ading psy\u00adchotrop\u00adic drugs. Yet it\u2019s porn that is most fre\u00adquent\u00adly cit\u00aded as the like\u00adly cul\u00adprit, prompt\u00ading the cre\u00adation of the term \u2018porn-induced erec\u00adtile dys\u00adfunc\u00adtion,\u2019 which was coined by Dr. Abra\u00adham Mor\u00adgen\u00adtaler, an asso\u00adciate clin\u00adi\u00adcal pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of urol\u00ado\u00adgy at Har\u00advard Med\u00adical School.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Protes\u00adtants: The Most \u2018Catholic\u2019 of Chris\u00adtians<\/span><\/a> (Caleb Lind\u00adgren, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201c<\/span>The \u2018Reform\u00ading Catholic Con\u00adfes\u00adsion,\u2019 released today, aims to demon\u00adstrate that\u2014despite \u201cdenominationalism\u201d\u2014Protestants are remark\u00adably uni\u00adfied.\u201d See <\/span>A Reform\u00ading Catholic Con\u00adfes\u00adsion<\/span><\/a> for the text of the state\u00adment.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Big Data Sur\u00adveil\u00adlance: The Case of Polic\u00ading<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Sarah Brayne, Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Soci\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Review): \u201c<\/span>In some instances, it is sim\u00adply eas\u00adi\u00ader for law enforce\u00adment to pur\u00adchase pri\u00advate\u00adly col\u00adlect\u00aded data than to rely on in-house data because there are few\u00ader con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal pro\u00adtec\u00adtions, report\u00ading require\u00adments, and appel\u00adlate checks on pri\u00advate sec\u00adtor sur\u00adveil\u00adlance and data col\u00adlec\u00adtion.\u2026 More\u00adover, respon\u00addents explained, pri\u00advate\u00adly col\u00adlect\u00aded data is some\u00adtimes more up-to-date.\u201d <\/span>(hat tip: <\/span>Big Data Sur\u00adveil\u00adlance<\/span><\/a> by Alex Tabar\u00adrok at Mar\u00adgin\u00adal Rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion).

  6. The Aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic Rea\u00adson Why There Are So Few Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtives In Acad\u00ade\u00admia<\/span><\/a> (George Yancey, Patheos): \u201c\u2026over the last sev\u00ader\u00adal years, I have been doing empir\u00adi\u00adcal work in anti-Chris\u00adt\u00adian bias in soci\u00adety and acad\u00ade\u00admia. The way my work has been treat\u00aded has changed dra\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly although I became bet\u00adter, not worse, in doing research. Review\u00aders are clear\u00adly more hos\u00adtile to my work on anti-Chris\u00adt\u00adian bias than my work in race and eth\u00adnic\u00adi\u00adty, and some of their cri\u00adtiques are almost laugh\u00adable. Those who want to state that we can trust sci\u00adence because it enables an open search for the truth have nev\u00ader tried to pub\u00adlish work that vio\u00adlates the polit\u00adi\u00adcal and moral sen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties of aca\u00add\u00ade\u00admics.\u201d The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy at the Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of North Texas.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. A Third of Veg\u00ade\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adans Eat Meat When They\u2019re Drunk<\/a> (Phoebe Hurst, Vice):  this research does not appear to be of the high\u00adest qual\u00adi\u00adty, but I found it intrigu\u00ading nonethe\u00adless.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
