About Me
(ex)Theologian
I taught theology and ethics for two decades. I have since let go of most of my theological certainties. Spirituality can be rich and meaningful, but religion is too often toxic. I seek the divine in truth, goodness, beauty, and joy.
Ethicist
I’ve been shaped by the virtue ethics tradition — the idea that a happy life is achieved by pursuing wisdom and living your values. Since I am neither wise nor virtuous, I lean on grace and aim to be gracious with others.
Disabled scholar
I teach disability studies and ethics at the University of Sydney in the School of Health Sciences. I am the Director of the Centre for Disability Research and Policy. I’m trying to do my small part in making the world more inclusive. Since 2010, I have lived with quadriplegia (C4/5 incomplete).
