I have spent over two decades in academia and the arts in New York City (and London, for a bit). I have been an editor, university administrator, bookkeeper, research assistant, babysitter, and bookseller (among other things).
I provide a range of editorial and coaching services and teach courses in religious studies and journalism.
I am committed to the importance of academic writing and believe research and rigor are essential. I am also deeply concerned with the future of scholarship and invested in helping academic authors reach new, wider, public audiences. In the face of labor precarity and the challenges of public engagement, my goal is to cultivate and share work that can make a difference—whether as a contribution to an academic discipline, a political movement, or both.
I spent three years in a PhD program at Columbia University studying philosophy of religion and comparative literature and left with an MA. Before that, I received a BA in cultural and media studies from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School (where I have had the pleasure of returning to teach courses in religious studies and journalism). I am currently contributing editor at the online magazine, The Revealer, and am the London Regional Director of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, where I also edit Late Light: a Journal of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research.
The best job I ever had was getting paid to sleep.
