Hi. My name is J. Kameron Carter. I’m a Professor of Religious Studies, English, and African American Studies at Indiana University Bloomington. I also co-direct Indiana University’s Center for Religion and the Human. I write and think about religion and public life or the social ecology of religion. I am particularly interested in the convergences of religion and race, as well as religion, the environment, and climate change.
I am the author of Race: A Theological Account (Oxford UP, 2008). My next book, The Anarchy of Black Religion: A Mystic Song, is presently in production and scheduled for publication in 2023 (Duke University Press, forthcoming). Lastly, I am completing another book. Titled The Religion of Whiteness: An Apocalyptic Lyric (with Yale University Press), this book explores white identity — not just, for example, with regard to Christian Nationalism or white evangelicalism, but regarding whiteness as such, right, left, and center — as a form of religion.
