Just a tiny wee little note here.

You DO realize I have on paper, zero professional qualifications, yes ?
I'm of the mind that the paper means a bit less than actual knowledge of the subject material, which of course, in this case is all but moot given that at least one participant displayed damn-near-none, but still...

I dun put so much stock in that paper, as there's plenty of pretty damn smart folk out and about in the world who can't AFFORD that paper, just sayin.

Well, I don't, in fact, know that about you. I think I know things about you from what you've posted here, I know the places I trust or respect your opinion-- "I could be wrong now/ But I don't think so..."

But I do know what you mean. In my trade, I look like gose on paper, have zero certification or paper trail in the skills I use every day. But I been doing my job for over 30 years, in many different industries and with many companies. When looking for a job, I've gotta get past paper to face-to-face interview. Then I can usually make a truthful impression. And once-- if-- I get hired, I can usually prove my worth in the first week.

Anyways, the paper means little, but the interviewer clearly lacked a substantive knowledge of the subject and it shows - but what could one expect on a network whos culture PRIDES itself on ignorance ?

Thanks but no thanks. :/

I like how people who they think they have life figured out feel like they have to give "advice" to people living very different lives from them.

And how that advice is always "you should believe what I believe! It'll make you feel better!"

Wallerstein Distinguished Visiting Scholars

Through a generous grant from Jane and Bernard Wallerstein and the Johanette Wallerstein Institute, the Drew University Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict has received funding to invite distinguished scholars and public intellectuals to be in residence on Drew’s campus for varying periods of time. Distinguished Visiting Professors are people especially noted for their capacity to bring many disciplines into conversation with each other about the particular area of religion and culture in which they work. Professors interact with both students and faculty in a variety of ways and serve as important catalysts for wide-ranging interdisciplinary conversations about different aspects of cultural and religious conflict.
Dr. Reza Aslan
Current Scholar

The Wallerstein Distinguished Visiting Professor for 2012-13 is Reza Aslan,
