About Me

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Religion: Process Studies at Claremont School of Theology. I am interested in the interstices of Process Philosophy, Postmodern and Post-Structuralist Thought, and Religion. My work deals with methodologies of Religious Pluralism as it relates to Truth and Imagination. Instead of truth as the ground for imaginative thinking, I follow a more processive formulation, where imagination and truth are in flux; truth cannot be understood without imagination, and the imagination cannot be understood with truth. I follow the lines of Alfred North Whitehead, Roland Faber, Catherine Keller, Gaston Bachelard, John Sallis and others, who call for a Heraclitian flux, a turn to process.
