  1. How to read books effi\u00adcient\u00adly in grad school<\/a> (Thomas Kidd, per\u00adson\u00adal newslet\u00adter): \u201cHere\u2019s the method I rec\u00adom\u00admend for read\u00ading a book effi\u00adcient\u00adly: read every word of the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion and con\u00adclu\u00adsion of a book. Then read the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion and con\u00adclu\u00adsion of each chap\u00adter word-for-word. With\u00adin each chap\u00adter, read the first and last sen\u00adtence of each body para\u00adgraph. Slow down when it gets inter\u00adest\u00ading, or when the author hits on your par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar research inter\u00adest.\u201d Kidd is a his\u00adto\u00adry pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Bay\u00adlor Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. There is a length\u00adi\u00ader arti\u00adcle with relat\u00aded thoughts titled Effi\u00adcient Read\u00ading<\/a> by Karin Wulf, a his\u00adto\u00adry pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at William and Mary.<\/li>\n
  2. The Anti-Chris\u00adt\u00adian Alt-Right<\/a> (Matthew Rose, First Things): \u201cAlmost every\u00adthing writ\u00adten about the \u2018alter\u00adna\u00adtive right\u2019 in main\u00adstream out\u00adlets is wrong in one respect. The alt-right is not stu\u00adpid. It is deep. Its ideas are not ridicu\u00adlous. They are seri\u00adous. To appre\u00adci\u00adate this fact, one needs to inquire beyond its pres\u00adence on social media, where its obnox\u00adious use of insult, obscen\u00adi\u00adty, and racism has earned it a rep\u00adu\u00adta\u00adtion for moral idio\u00adcy. The rep\u00adu\u00adta\u00adtion is deserved, but do not be deceived. Behind its online tantrums and per\u00adson\u00adal attacks are argu\u00adments of gen\u00aduine pow\u00ader and expand\u00ading appeal\u2026. The alt-right is anti-Chris\u00adt\u00adian. Not by impli\u00adca\u00adtion or insin\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion, but by con\u00adfes\u00adsion. Its lead\u00ading thinkers flaunt their rejec\u00adtion of Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty and their desire to con\u00advert believ\u00aders away from it.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. News To A For\u00adeign Coun\u00adtry<\/a> (David War\u00adren, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cThe State has its reli\u00adgion, we have ours. So long as we remain meek and obe\u00addi\u00adent, to any\u00adthing we are required to sign, the Antichrist him\u00adself wouldn\u2019t care what we think. The trou\u00adble aris\u00ades only when we fail to sign, salute, or check the right box\u00ades. That is, from the Antichrist\u2019s point of view, a form of defi\u00adance that requires pun\u00adish\u00adment \u2014 a pun\u00adish\u00adment that we have brought upon our\u00adselves, as will be con\u00adde\u00adscend\u00ading\u00adly explained.\u201d This is a tran\u00adscribed speech by a Cana\u00addi\u00adan jour\u00adnal\u00adist, and it is extreme\u00adly fiery and very Catholic.<\/li>\n
  4. Trans\u00adgen\u00adder Ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy Is Rid\u00addled With Con\u00adtra\u00addic\u00adtions. Here Are the Big Ones.<\/a> (Ryan T Ander\u00adson, Her\u00aditage): \u201cIf gen\u00adder is a social con\u00adstruct, how can gen\u00adder iden\u00adti\u00adty be innate and immutable? How can one\u2019s iden\u00adti\u00adty with respect to a social con\u00adstruct be deter\u00admined by biol\u00ado\u00adgy in the womb? How can one\u2019s iden\u00adti\u00adty be unchange\u00adable (immutable) with respect to an ever-chang\u00ading social con\u00adstruct? And if gen\u00adder iden\u00adti\u00adty is innate, how can it be \u2018flu\u00adid\u2019?\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Mas\u00adsacre in Myan\u00admar<\/a> (Wa Lone, Kyaw Soe Oo, Simon Lewis and Antoni Slod\u00adkows\u00adki, Reuters):  \u201cReuters has pieced togeth\u00ader what hap\u00adpened in Inn Din in the days lead\u00ading up to the killing of the 10 Rohingya \u2013 eight men and two high school stu\u00addents in their late teens. Until now, accounts of the vio\u00adlence against the Rohingya in Rakhine state have been pro\u00advid\u00aded only by its vic\u00adtims. The Reuters recon\u00adstruc\u00adtion draws for the first time on inter\u00adviews with Bud\u00addhist vil\u00adlagers who con\u00adfessed to torch\u00ading Rohingya homes, bury\u00ading bod\u00adies and killing Mus\u00adlims. This account also marks the first time sol\u00addiers and para\u00admil\u00adi\u00adtary police have been impli\u00adcat\u00aded by tes\u00adti\u00admo\u00adny from secu\u00adri\u00adty per\u00adson\u00adnel them\u00adselves.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. Should We Say \u201cOf Course\u201d To Fem\u00adi\u00adnism?<\/a> (Anni\u00adka Nordquist, Stan\u00adford Review): \u201c\u2026I would chal\u00adlenge all crit\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly-think\u00ading fem\u00adi\u00adnists to ask the same ques\u00adtion I asked my friend: if this move\u00adment does\u00adn\u2019t wel\u00adcome me, my opin\u00adions, or my solu\u00adtions, why would I want to be part of it?\u201d Yes, this is our Anni\u00adka.<\/li>\n
  7. Is There a Smarter Way to Think About Sex\u00adu\u00adal Assault on Cam\u00adpus?<\/a>  (Jia Tol\u00adlenti\u00adno, The New York\u00ader):  \u201cIn col\u00adlege, every\u00adthing is Janus-faced: what you inter\u00adpret as refuge can lead to dan\u00adger, and vice ver\u00adsa. One of the most high\u00adly val\u00adorized social activ\u00adi\u00adties, black\u00ading out and hook\u00ading up, holds the poten\u00adtial for trau\u00adma with\u00adin it like a seed.\u201d<\/li>\n
  8. What Teenagers Are Learn\u00ading From Online Porn<\/a> (Mag\u00adgie Jones, New York Times): \u201cBut you don\u2019t have to believe that porn leads to sex\u00adu\u00adal assault or that it\u2019s cre\u00adat\u00ading a gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion of bru\u00adtal men to won\u00adder how it helps shape how teenagers talk and think about sex and, by exten\u00adsion, their ideas about mas\u00adculin\u00adi\u00adty, fem\u00adi\u00adnin\u00adi\u00adty, inti\u00adma\u00adcy and pow\u00ader.\u201d This arti\u00adcle uses graph\u00adic imagery.<\/li>\n
  9. How Chi\u00adnese over\u00adseas stu\u00addents are learn\u00ading harsh life lessons<\/a> (Eric Fish, South Chi\u00adna Morn\u00ading Post):   \u201cInter\u00adviews with Chi\u00adnese stu\u00addents study\u00ading abroad and aca\u00add\u00ade\u00admics who research their atti\u00adtudes present a com\u00adplex pic\u00adture \u2013 one in which stu\u00addents enter and leave with diverse views and iden\u00adti\u00adties that often defy clear loy\u00adal\u00adties or ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal labels. But nev\u00ader\u00adthe\u00adless, many feel caught in the geopo\u00adlit\u00adi\u00adcal cross\u00adfire \u2013 forced to choose a side or keep their heads down.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
