Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Through an examination of course offerings at Canadian universities the study of religion and literature (RL) of a generation ago is compared with that today. Many of the RL courses taught in 1972 were organized around theological themes and existential motifs taken as characteristic of the contemporary world and students' own search for meaning. Today's RL courses, while fewer in number and perhaps less prominent within religious studies curricula, bring into view wider concerns, both in terms of the religions and literatures represented and the methods whereby these texts are treated.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

How this classification was reachedexpand

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
