Senior Editor, Reading Religion

As senior editor of Reading Religion, a publication of the American Academy of Religion (AAR), I manage all editorial and social media content for the website, which publishes approximately 250 reviews annually. I oversee the editorial review process, including the assignment and editing of scholarly book reviews and essays. I coordinate with contributors, publishers and authors and uphold consistent editorial standards.

I also work closely with a 30-member editorial board composed of religious studies scholars. We shape the strategic direction of the website, evaluate editorial policies and ensure the integrity and quality of our content. I facilitate regular communication with board members, solicit input on key decisions, and integrate the board's insights into contributor outreach and recruitment and the development of initiatives such as our mentoring program, themed book lists and expanded review coverage—film, television and podcasts.
