I worked as an adjunct professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies teaching introductory courses on the topics of faith, reason, and culture. My course focused on theories of religion, the historical development of philosophy, theology, and science in relation to one another, and the practical application of religious principles in contemporary democratic societies aimed at establishing peace and justice with an eye towards diversity and inclusion. As a professor, I aimed to cultivate critical reading, writing, and discursive skills in my students while challenging them to question their personal prejudices, encouraging them to consider perspectives other than their own.

I also served as faculty editor for the Graduate Journal of Academic Studies.

ABSTRACT.  This thesis examines several works of African-American literature through the lens of Paul Ricœur’s theory of narrative identity to consider how African-American authors have employed narration in the service of reclaiming and reconstructing black subjectivities over and against racial stereotypes in popular culture. This study focuses primarily on two nineteenth-century works from the literary genres of autobiography and the novel: Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845) and Pauline Hopkins’s novel titled Contending Forces (1900), each of which accomplishes the reconstructive task in light of the pertinent questions about race of their time. Analyses of these works provide insight into the function and method of narration as an effective means of representing the various issues facing black identities without presenting a totalizing characterization. While each text opens a plethora of potential readings, examining them within the framework of Ricœur’s narrative theory demonstrates how each contributes to a singular, overarching project aimed at displaying an array of complex black subjectivities that contest the dominant cultural misconceptions of the time. In this way, this thesis ultimately sets out to propose a general theory of narrative identity that undergirds the reconstruction of black subjectivities in African-American literature.

ABSTRACT. Gianni Vattimo argues that religion after "Death of God" theology, specifically the strains influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche’s critique of objective moral values and Martin Heidegger’s critique of onto-theology, is a religion of weakness moving towards secularization. He believes that strong religious ideologies are inherently violent and the only way to avoid this violence is to see to it that these structures are weakened by embracing hermeneutical nihilism as Western society’s only means forward. He goes so far as to suggest that the spirit of the Christian kerygma is a spirit of weakness with the kenosis of Jesus Christ at the heart of it all. This thesis considers the implications of Vattimo’s hermeneutical nihilism for religious discourse, analyzes the constructive and destructive potential of religious language, and argues that, despite the potential for violence that arises out of the use of traditional religious language, the language nevertheless remains a vital element to human experience, community, and self-understanding within the respective religious traditions as they are embodied in contemporary society. To achieve this, the thesis presents Paul Ricoeur’s approach to the critiques of religion and his analysis of religious language. Then it utilizes Ricoeur’s dialectical hermeneutics as a model for deriving an ethics of religious discourse called the dialogical dialectic. Finally, the thesis argues that the dialogical dialectic provides a framework for utilizing religious language towards constructive ends while avoiding religious violence that concerns Vattimo and, further, that the dialogical dialectic is preferable to Vattimo’s weak thought.

Community Mentor

Havertown Community Action Network (H-CAN)
As a volunteer with H-CAN, I've worked closely with other volunteers to spearhead initiatives addressing community bias or discrimination, particularly against our local immigrant communities. Two such initiatives I've worked on in detail include: (1) An addendum to a Police-Community Relations Survey and Analysis of Lower Merion Township Police Department to address gaps in policy pertaining to how the LMPD handles cases dealing with undocumented immigrants and differently abled persons; and (2) An initiative to revise the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) Handbook to make the necessary accommodations for religious headwear during athletic events. On both of these initiatives, I researched existing policy, practices, and case law pertinent to the respective projects and composed documents then presented to the appropriate institutions.
