He previously taught within the Africana Department and Balfour-Hesburgh Scholars Program at the University of Notre Dame. His area of study focuses on the sonic, spatial, and embodied realities of the Christian imagination. His latest book, Decolonizing Revelation: A Spatial Reading of the Blues (Fortress Academic, 2018), takes up these realities with regard to the American music genre known as the blues.
