Research Interests

I work along intersections of religious ethics with the environmental humanities. I trained in contemporary environmental ethics and in classical Christian theology, so my first project undertook comparative theological readings in the space of modern environmental questions. My interests have since broadened to interpreting many other models of religious engagement with environmental thought, including relations of ethics and the environmental sciences. I have become interested in the modern project of Christian social ethics, especially its reckoning with economics and with political violence. I often wonder what it means to do religious ethics, which means that I’m interested in questions about method. I work on global ethics, usually focusing on climate ethics and recently on questions about morality in Anthropocene conditions. And I have an emerging interest in food studies, maybe as a site for integrating a number of those interests.
