About
I was born in Rochester, NY and raised in Jacksonville, FL and Boulder, CO. In my B.A. and M.A. work (at Reed College and the Universiteit van Amsterdam), I studied classics, religious studies, and early Christian thought and literature. My research focused on Proclus and Neoplatonic theurgy, as well as the "esoteric Platonism" of the Corpus Hermeticum, Chaldean Oracles, and various Gnostic texts. Later I earned my Ph.D. in religious studies (Early Christianity) at Yale University. My doctoral dissertation addressed the background of several philosophical Sethian Gnostic treatises, discovered at Nag Hammadi (Egypt) in 1945, in Neoplatonism and Judeo-Christian apocalypticism.
These days I'm a postdoc at the Centre for Naturalism and Christian Semantics at the University of Copenhagen, undertaking a project on the problem of providence in Early Christianity and Gnosticism, focusing on cosmic creation and dualism.
My extracurriculars include music, film, travel, hiking, and (of course) reading!
