Pluralism moves beyond tolerance. It’s not just permitting someone’s beliefs; it’s trying to understand them and getting to know them. This is not the absence of conviction. It is the determination to live out one’s deepest convictions within a shared civic space, and to treat other people not as a threat but as key contributors to the community. In an era when religious and moral differences often feel like threats to identity, cultivating an individual ethic of pluralism may be one of the most critical civic tasks before us. Pluralism is not who we are by default. But it can be who we become – slowly, deliberately and together.

Germany finds World Cup oasis outside FIFA’s base camp catalog
Most of the teams participating in the 2026 World Cup selected their base camps from a catalog of 64 options compiled by FIFA.

Germany, the first team to announce its base camp, is among those that chose to go outside the catalog.

Colleges face a new rival in teaching: AI chatbots
As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in colleges’ business and administrative operations, academic leaders are growing more skeptical about its role in teaching and learning. With student AI use now pervasive in classrooms, libraries and residence halls, many faculty members and instructional staff say they increasingly feel as though they are competing with AI systems to educate students—often without clear institutional guidance. In Wake Forest University’s Master of Science in Management program, students now treat AI less as an authority and more as a collaborator whose output must be scrutinized. They analyzed their personality tests with AI to discover how individuals can best collaborate in a group setting.

Economics professor Koleman Strumpf dismissed concerns about market manipulation and influencing voter behavior, saying that there historically hasn’t been issues and that the concerns “aren’t grounded very deeply in fact.” Instead, he sees them as an “incredible resource" for people interested in current events. “I would say as part of a news diet, opening up Polymarket or opening up Kalshi at the beginning of the day and seeing what markets are getting all of the activity tells you what the big stories of the day are,” he said.

"While some will attend services led by pastors who are women, the overwhelming majority of worshippers will not. Women constitute 23.7% of professional clergy in the U.S. and an increasing percentage of people earning graduate theology degrees," writes religion professor Mary Foskett. "The matter is an especially timely one to consider at Easter. Churches will continue to debate whether to ordain women, depending on how they interpret specific parts of the Bible. Yet according to the Gospels, the New Testament as we know it would simply not exist were it not for the proclamation of women."

Why the betting markets may have a unique impact on California governor’s race
Economics professor Koleman Strumpf notes that prediction markets often outperform goals. “It's real-time information,” he said. “The people in the market are generally quite smart because if they're not smart, they're going to lose money.” Strumpf says he’s studying how much of an influence the personal preferences of people trading on the markets influence their decisions. He’s skeptical they do – people participating ostensibly want to make money by predicting the winner correctly, regardless of who they like.

‘The trend of the moment’: Do weighted vests live up to the hype?
“Vests are really hot right now,” health and exercise science professor and researcher Kristen Beavers told Healio. “It makes sense to me that if you’re loading the skeletal system, it would have a benefit at least to the skeletal system in some way, shape or form. This is how bone works; it responds to the loads that it’s placed under. What we were trying to do was to fool your body into thinking that you were weight stable when you weren’t."

Wake Forest brings classroom and career together in Charlotte
The spot at which Pearl Park Way meets South McDowell Street in Dilworth has a stop sign, of course, but Wake Forest University prefers to view it as the intersection of liberal arts and business; the crossroads of medicine and engineering; the convergence of classroom learning and practical experience; and the further bonding of a university and a vibrant city and vital alumni base 70 miles (as the crow flies) from the main campus.

Why a little delusion is good for you
Where would humanity be without our mild delusion? Many of the technologies we take for granted, from the light bulb to iPhones, would cease to exist without relentless resolve. Stephen King, rejected dozens of times, persisted and became one of the world’s top-selling authors. The realization that we have some control over our fate is what psychology professor Christian Waugh calls “optimism’s greatest power.”

Forest advocates accuse EU energy firm of Dutch biomass certification fraud
"For years, a battle has raged between EU nations that claim their forest biomass certification policies safeguard against deforestation, promote sustainability and enable carbon-emissions reductions, even as forest advocates have argued that those policies fail to combat climate change, are badly flawed or outright fraudulent," writes journalism professor Jusin Catanoso. "But now forest advocates are turning up the pressure in the Netherlands in an unprecedented way."
