    Unsecularizing Romanticism

    There’s a movement to diversify the British literary canon and a crucial step may be right in front of us. Allow me to explain. The British Romantic period—broadly conceived as the 1780s through the early 1830s—was once admired for its religious aspects. Some credited the literature of the period with inspiring an Anglo-Catholic revival in […]

    Precarity, Privilege, and Publication

    If you look at the title page of my new book, Shakespeare’s ‘Lady Editors’: A New History of the Shakespearean Text, you might notice that there’s something missing – the space beneath my name is blank, an empty void where, usually, you would see an author’s institutional affiliation. In the three years since I submitted […]

    Creating a Country to Save the Planet

    International efforts to combat climate change have left many people disappointed. Attention has focused on the failure of states to take the action needed to protect the planet. This reflects how the debate has been conducted at events such as the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow. The environment was not represented […]

    Learning Values and Inequalities in Religiously Diverse Societies

    How do young people learn and embody moral values in multireligious societies? How do Christian and Muslim schools establish and reproduce social inequalities? In my book I argue that faith-oriented schools play an important role not only in negotiating but also producing and reifying socio-religious differences in contemporary, pluralistic societies. My anthropological study focuses on […]

    Pain, Penance, and Protest

    Pain, Penance, and Protest arose from a resolve to reconcile the legal historical world of medieval England with the medieval history that I know so well through my teaching and research. Perhaps because legal history tends to be dominated by lawyers rather than by historians, I have often felt that the legal histories I read […]

    A Well Society and Music’s Heralding of Social Justice Concerns

    A person’s wellness is not only based upon factors such as lifestyle, heredity, attitude toward health, and personal behavior, but is also connected to the health of a society in which they live. A healthy society is one that ensures the basic needs of each person are met and that they may realize their greatest […]

    The Skyhook and Knowledge Commons: What can Kareem Abdul-Jabbar teach us about markets?

    In the ordinary business of markets there is more going on than just the interplay of competitive forces. What we want to talk about is that “more” that is going on. We will illustrate with the story of a man who would become known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, an athlete who holds the all-time NBA record […]

    Hope

    Hope, at least the word, seems to be everywhere, at least in the United States. On lawns where one once found Christmas “Joy,” “Hope” signs more often reign, and in 2021 some have remained on display throughout the seasons. Hope’s Christian context is decisive, but the word also has a political aura. Martin Luther King’s […]
