Jeremy Posadas – personal website: critical theorist, social justice educator, political strategist

Dr. Jeremy Posadas

critical theorist • social justice educator • political strategist

Hello! I’m Dr. Jeremy Posadas, and I teach on the rural border of Texas and Oklahoma at a liberal arts college called Austin College (which, despite its name, is located nowhere near Austin). I teach religious studies and gender studies. Through my teaching, scholarship, workshops, and strategies, I invite people into the moral critique of social inequalities that structure America today — especially those based on class, gender/sexuality, and race — and into the imagination of a world where everyone is equitably free to enjoy liveliness and live with joy.

Profile
As a social ethicist, my writing is rooted in queer and feminist traditions that struggle for the liberation of all people, along with the Earth, from injustice in its multivalent forms.
As an activist, my organizing has primarily manifested itself in the movements for worker justice and LGBT/queer justice.
And as a political strategist, I am committed to helping forge a new “politics against disposability” through which various marginalized communities can recognize shared interests to build solidarity and power.
