Broadcast Seeding is pleased to be the audio home of Off-Script: Scriptures, Scholarship, and Conversation. Dr. Jeffrey Turner (University of Alabama) shares with us a presentation called “Scriptures, Immigration, and the Digital Study of Religion.” Turner uses computational methods to redescribe the story of immigration law in the United States, helping us better color and question a powerful example of modern scripturalizing.
