Marginalia Review of Books

I served as Editorial Director for the Marginalia Review of Books, a channel of the Los Angeles Review of Books, from Spring 2013 until Spring 2015. During my tenure in that role, I worked with the hundreds of contributors and editors who produced the reviews that set MRB apart as a bridge between academia and the general public in the field of religion, guiding the development of our editorial philosophy and establishing our workflow. I continue to serve MRB in an advisory capacity as Editor-at-Large.
