There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

I'm an atheist studying at Cambridge (UK). I initially studied Theological and Religious Studies, focusing on sociology of religion but also doing papers on various other things like Old Testament history, before switching to politics and IR. I have a good knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and of the OT in general.
I currently specialise in intellectual history (which is a pretentious way of saying 'history of political and cultural ideas').
I am not politically affiliated beyond subscribing to a vague radical anti-liberalism which puts me on the far left of most debates, though I don't consider myself Marxist, communist, or socialist. My favourite philosophers are Foucault and Nietzsche, and I also agree with many of the insights of Deleuze, Said, the Neo-Gramscians, the Cambridge School of historicism, and the Frankfurt School (though not Habermas). I don't support any of these uncritically.
