  • Short biography: My work addresses novel topics in studies of philosophy, religion and ethics. Through funded research, I’ve published apt new models of how religion interacts with technological change, deliberative democracy and the critique of metaphysics. Future work is planned on situated religious cognition. The courses I teach evaluate diverse thinkers from around the world to help students thrive in multicultural democracies.
