Biography

I'm a wandering writer who reports on religion, urbanism, the confluence of the two, and a little bit of everything in between. My work ranges from deeply-reported policy and feature pieces to arts journalism and travel writing. I look for the human element in everything I write, and for me, that means rooting data, text, news analysis, and abstract concepts in place, space, and personal geography. It's amazing what the built environment can tell us about our world. Whether it's the spatial politics of Johannesburg or the overt politics of imagined spaces, there's always there, there.
