My research focuses on the intersection of embodied cognition, phenomenology, and modern Christian doctrine, with a particular focus on the incarnality of divine revelation. My current research looks at the nature and meaning of sin in the information age, and so I am currently spending a lot of time looking at the role of disembodiment in the rise of political propaganda and conspiracy theories.
