Steven Foertsch

I am a social theorist at Nebraska Wesleyan University and Deputy EIC of an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to minority belief systems. My research focuses on the formation of group epistemology, tracing ideology and deviance across diverse groups including Transhumanism, organizational Satanism, Mahāyāna Buddhism, QAnon, and Christofascism—projects informed by an earlier background in policy with the United Nations and AmeriCorps. My recent analyses have appeared in national human rights outlets, political commentary platforms such as CounterPunch, and GWU’s Illiberalism Studies Program series Frontiers of American Reaction.
