As the academic study of religion was developing in the late 19th c, European and Euro-American Protestant scholars constructed hierarchies with Indigenous religions at the bottom. One of the ways they justified this was the purported lack of ethics among Indigenous traditions.

One thing that really made me warm to alt-ac (some teaching but not all my eggs in that basket) is also something that wasn't at all true in 2014, which is the *precarity of the colleges themselves.* I know a fair number of people who are teaching at small colleges and
One thing missed in discussions of academic history hiring anger is how quickly the job market turned relative to PhD completion times. I see tenured historians saying, "we warned you" and - no, you didn't. You warned the incoming class of 2017; this is the incoming of 2014. 1/
