Eerie coincidence or scholar-geist?*
From last month’s RD interview with Leslie J. Harris, associate professor of communications at the UW-Milwaukee:
I’ve become convinced that today’s debate about same-sex marriage is not simply about preserving a seemingly sacred and unchanging institution, or securing particular rights and privileges. Rather, it is about negotiating the boundaries of American-ness.
From yesterday’s RNS blog post by political science prof Daniel Bennett:
[S]ame-sex marriage is about more than morality or ideology. It is about how people view the United States of America.
*It’s been brought to my attention that this post could be read as an implication of plagiarism, which was the furthest thing from my mind. I meant only to highlight how fascinating it is that two entirely different data sets yielded a similar, though slightly unusual, conclusion.
