I’m currently an Early Career Fellow in Science and Religion at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford. My graduate research focused on theological engagements with ‘embodied cognition’, a new paradigm in the cognitive sciences. I considered the way in which various hypotheses in embodied cognition posed interesting questions for theology: Are theological concepts grounded in embodied experience? How do the cognitive effects of religious rituals and liturgies contribute to the theological meaning of these embodied practices? And do we scaffold or offload parts of our cognition onto religious material culture? I proposed the principle of divine accommodation (from Christian and Jewish theology) as a theological framework for this engagement: if theological understanding is accommodated to limited human understanding, then cognitive science ought to be helpful in delineating the kinds of human cognitive profiles to which this understanding is accommodated. (If you’d like to more, I’ve published this work in Corporeal Theology (OUP, 2023) and ‘Accommodating Embodied Thinkers’ in Modern Theology). I’m currently working on spin off projects on embodiment, and am in the early stages of devising future projects on how psychology could be helpful for ecotheology, and a science-engaged theology of sleep.
