I work on popular culture representations of mass atrocities, forgiveness, and restitution, reading them in the context of post-genocide truth and reconciliation movements. My research draws post-Holocaust Jewish thought into conversation with feminist, Black, and Indigenous philosophies which analyse power, relationality, and affect.
You can hear about my work on The Classical Ideas Podcast, The Religious Studies Project, History Valley, and Chrissy Stroop’s Virtual Coffee House. You can also read some of my public writing at Time, Pop Culture & Theology, American Religion, and Political Theology.
