User:Aleph Null

A brief and far-from-comprehensive list of things not covered by userboxen (plural intentional!): I'm fascinated by very many sub-fields within theology & biblical studies, but especially by liberationist and survivor-centred readings of the Apostle Paul and his epistles. I'm dilettantish w.r.t. basically everything; aside from my specialist academic fields, I love literature (anything maximalist or hyperinventive), history (of Second Temple Judaism and ancient west Asia, of twentieth-century socialist states, of US foreign policy), critical theory (of the proletarian feminist & Marxist-Leninist variety), philosophy (of science (another, another), of religion), number theory, film theory, music criticism, and video games as literature.

Besides all that, I'm inspired in equal measure by Thomas Sankara, Joan of Arc, Mr Rogers, Sophie Scholl, Poppy Cross, Chelsea Manning, Orson Welles, Bugs Bunny, and Boxxy.

In the past, I was pretty focused on articles related either to my sort-of-former church or my then-favourite band; I even got the latter's (still fairly wonderful) album Mezzamorphis up to Good Article status almost single-handedly, though it was de-listed in late 2009. I've been inactive for a long, long time, with minor fitful hiccoughs of well-intentioned info-splurges, but now that I'm back, ish, I'm trying to resuscitate and/or resurrect WikiProject Theology, and looking forward very much to helping make academic theology more accessible to the world outside academia!
