Someone asked me how I work. Today’s answer is that I type up Minecraft-inspired notes that I originally wrote on a soon-to-be recycled box of Honey Bunches of Oats. It’s called research, friends.

Excited to make a guest appearance on The Religious Studies Project to talk about #IdRoots, Black Lives Matter, and the Anthropology of Scriptures. My favorite part happens at the end. The hosts move beyond my work to think about where they’ve seen the dynamics I’ve studied. Honestly, that was the entire goal of the project, and I’m honored that this great resource came along for the ride. If you’ve got any funding to spare, think about donating and check out their Patreon. They are an amazing resource for the international academic study of religion as they work hard to model generative discourse and ethical support structures for scholarly labor.

I had a great time talking with Vanessa Sinclair, Psy. D (@rawsin_ ) on her show, “Rendering Unconscious.” We talked about #IdRoots, scriptures, identity formation, anti-Black racism in the US, social politics, pedagogy, and more. The best part was getting to share about the wisdom I’ve learned from many of my teachers. [link in bio]
