About
Although trained in 19th-20th cent. German/Continental theology and philosophy, while working towards my Ph.D. in the History of Consciousness Program, I switched from seeing theology/religion and even philosophy as privileged metalanguages to seeing them as data for analysis. My theoretical perspective is informed by Foucault, Derrida, Nietzsche, and especially Roland Barthes. I am combining a number of analytical techniques drawn from these (and others) thinkers to formulate a "Nietzschean" semiotics and a constructive theory of religion.
