108Reconfiguring gender with John Dewey: Habit, bodies, and cultural changeHypatia 15 (1): 23-42. 2000.: This paper demonstrates how John Dewey's notion of habit can help us understand gender as a constitutive structure of bodily existence.

Some of the specific concepts I examine include the anonymous body, the bodying organism, truth as…Read more

83The Hearts and Guts of White PeopleJournal of Religious Ethics 42 (4): 591-611. 2014.Beginning with the experience of a white woman's stomach seizing up in fear of a black man, this essay examines some of the ethical and epistemological issues connected to white ignorance. In conversation with Charles Mills on the epistemology of ignorance, I argue that white ignorance primarily operates physiologically, not cognitively. Drawing critically from psychology, neurocardiology, and other medical sciences, I examine some of the biological effects of racism on white people's stomachs a…Read more
