This actually tracks quite a bit, I teach stats from a literacy and ethics perspective focused on reading tables rather than running models (at the intro level), so framing it that way really helps. Thanks!

So if an anthropologist applies for a position teaching statistics at a nursing college, should their job talk focus on their (non-statistical) research, or a lecture focused on statistics?

Statistical regressions are basically kayfabe of professional wrestling. They don't offer an unquestionable natural truth. That .05 confidence level means that it's a good guess 95% of the time. In short, it's "real enough" for us to buy into it.

Anyone from the Great White North familiar with the Statistique Canada interface? Trying to get a small dataset together, but I'm struggling to figure out how to pull a csv file.

... Is there a better material to build a giant house that hides a dozen folks out of? Asking for a friend.

It probably still holds up.

I think the classic westerns of Elmer Kelton were serials first, they come with a lot of baggage though.

The school of theology is the modern school of theology, but certainly adjacent.

I don't know about that. "Redneck" has a strong history in organized labor, and solidarity in farms and coal mines before it gets co-opted as a term for poor southern racists. Lumping in MAGA folks seems like an erasure of that history.

Look hear me out. I know I was in Hawaii last week, and it's paradise, and beautiful but when my dad passed the CBC, and specifically Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe got me through it. After spreading the last of Dad's ashes in HI a conference across the street from CBC feels better than paradise.
