Jared Rodríguez

I am a Doctoral Candidate in the Department of African American Studies at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.

My dissertation, Apocalyptic Blackness: A Critique of Political Theology in Four Chapters, offers an account of the Christianity of Anti-Blackness in the Early Modern Atlantic World in the service of a critique of the Christian soul of Racialized Modernity.

A child of Puerto Ricans, I have lived on three continents and in four countries. My amazing partner, Caryn, our two luminous children, and I currently make our home in Chicago.
