About Me

I’m a professor who writes about more than human worlds. You’ll find me writing about my research in religion, theology, and the environmental humanities. But you’ll also find me talking about teaching, AI, pop culture, my garden, and other weird and wonderful things. My first book Sister Death: Political Theologies for Living and Dying was published by Columbia University Press in 2023. I’m currently working on two other book projects, one of them is a book about underworlds in nature and our imagination.

About This Newsletter

I publish a short essay twice a month. It’s free to subscribe, and free to share.

Why Subscribe?

If you’re a little bit irreverent (but you’re also in awe of this wild planet we live on), if you hate the way that we’re often served pre-packaged forms of meaning that don’t digest well, and if you like to think, subscribe to stay in touch with me. I think we’ll get along.
