Follow Friday: Author, Blogger, and Professor Bradley Wright
My friend Bradley Wright, a sociology professor at UConn, released his first book yesterday titled Christians are Hate-Filled Hypocrites… And Other Lives You’ve Been Told: A Sociologist Shatters Myths from the Secular and Christian Media. He also blogs on sociology and religion at http://www.brewright.blogspot.com.
The release of Brad’s book gives me a great opportunity to test out a new feature on my blog. While Twitter has Follow Friday, in which users recommend folks to follow on Twitter, I’d like to recommend one other blogger each week who is worth reading.
I have known Brad since last September, and it has been great to see how he thinks. Brad brings a down-to-earth analytical mind to his work. I appreciate the clarity he is able to bring to confusing and complex situations, and his ability to ask the right questions.
These strengths help him evaluate the data that comes his way and yields some interesting insights on his blog. He keeps his posts short and to the point, which I think suits his nature. They read like sociology-light, and so most readers can swing by to check out his latest poll analysis without spending the better part of the morning there.
If you have a little time on your hands, Brad has a great list of his best posts that will prove both informative reading and an excellent introduction to his book.
