Pay attention and write about it.
I’m a cultural and intellectual omnivore. I’ve studied religion, mathematics, linguistics, political economy, and environmental science. I like maps, and prefer active and public transportation. I’ve lived in Latin America and have been formed by study in the new Black school of theology. I carry a happy debt to liberation theological traditions, in both axiom and method.
I work to cultivate livable economies, nurture theologies of care, and build abolition democracy. This is collaborative work, and I’ve worked with all sorts of folks over the years. I’m proud of this project with long-term residents of state prisons to co-design a trauma-informed transformative justice initiative, my partnerships with Indigenous organizations to transform land conflicts in multifaith contexts, a public process I co-facilitated to build more equitable infrastructure in my hometown, and the years I’ve spent building everyday sanctuary with people facing displacement and dispossession.
These days, I’m thinking about life lived in translation, the borders of our worlds, and social ecology. This, here, is a place to offer observations and reflections on the things I’m thinking and doing. Thanks for stopping by.
