Research
My research explores the ways in which religion, spirituality, and popular culture intersect. In my work, I focus on the creative process and how it can be used to explore and understand these complex themes. I am particularly interested in the role that music and art can play in spirituality, and how the creative process can be used to deepen our understanding of religion and spirituality.
