Black Lives, Sacred Humanity, and the Racialization of Nature, or Why America Needs Religious Naturalism Today
Carol Wayne White is professor of philosophy of religion at Bucknell University, and the author of Poststructuralism, Feminism, and Religion: Triangulating Positions (2002); The Legacy of Anne Conway (1631–70): Reverberations from a Mystical Naturalism (2009); and Black Lives and Sacred Humanity: Toward an African American Religious Naturalism (2016). She has recently published articles addressing the intersections of religious naturalism and queer theory, ecology and religion, and critical race theory and naturalistic views of the human. White is currently working on two new book projects. One explores the tenets of deep ecology and religious naturalism that are expressed in contemporary American nature poets and writers; the other addresses the problematic connections between antiblack racism and speciesism using the tenets of religious naturalism.
