Temporary editor at Religion & Politics journal, June—September 2019.
I commissioned and edited essays, news pieces and interviews for this weekly online journal published by the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis. Topics included: religion and law, American Muslim civil liberties, progressive Bible Belt Christians, religious accommodation laws and the use of Jewish religious ritual during anti-ICE protests.
