On Be-ing and sitting w/ a Dalyan scholar
I have been enjoying Mary Daly’s The Church & The Second Sex. It has raised several questions in my mind: What is sex? Why recover ontology? What is PostChristian thought, exactly? I’m sitting with these three questions, and hope that we will discuss them this coming week in our Ethics reading group. For now, though, [...]
Learning Animal Ethics on the Fly
I’m learning Animal Ethics on the FLY! My 14 year-old chihuahua (yes, she’s from Mexico) is having some renal issues. Naturally, I’m concerned.

The Act(s) of protesting OR Embodying an Ethic
I recently attended my first protest. Yes, at 33 years of age and in the middle of June 2010 just on the heels of completing my first year of doctoral work, I marched a ways from Denver’s Civic Park to the Federal Building in Denver, Colorado, held a sign that read “stop ripping apart families,” [...]

Arizona's immigration law may spur a showdown
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed the toughest law against illegal immigration in the country, shrugging aside warnings from religious and civil rights leaders — and President Obama — that it would lead to widespread racial profiling. Hours after Obama denounced the measure as “misguided,” Brewer held a signing ceremony for the bill, which [...]

On Desire, Intimacy, and the ethics of Love
Lately I’ve been having a lot of conversations around ideas of desire and intimacy. My conversations have mostly been with queer folks of varying expressions of identity and relations (single, monogamists, and polyamorous). These have been fruitful conversations and have challenged me to think about my own concepts of desire and intimacy. I have several [...]
