About
My academic interests are in religion, economics, politics and culture, and their various convergences. In religion my interests are divided between Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins on the one hand, and various liberation theologies on the other—including varieties of Christian, Islamic, Native American and Buddhist liberation theologies. I am also interested in Marxist and Neo-Marxist theories, subaltern political histories, postcolonial studies and the anthropology of religion and revolutionary social change. I am currently doing work comparing Islamic and Christian liberation theologies with Augusto Boal's "theater of the oppressed" and "legislative theater," paying special attention to the way practices, traditions and rituals are appropriated in "liberative performances" within each tradition.
