Research Interests:
As a scholar of religious ethics, I engage cultural studies, contemporary philosophy and theology, and classic texts to do comparative and constructive work. My research generally asks the question, “How might one become a person who can love neighbors well?” and works to develop an account of moral formation via encounters with otherness. I am interested in forms of life that can resist logics of domination and ecological destruction, and I look for social practices (especially religious practices) that might help us to envision lives of just relationships in society and with our world.
