Everett Hamner

Everett Hamner earned Master's degrees at Johns Hopkins and Regent College (U of British Columbia) before a PhD at Iowa. His articles may be found in Religion and Literature (forthcoming), Modern Fiction Studies, The Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies, The New Utopian Politics of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, Renascence, and Christianity and Literature. When not teaching or writing about literary and filmic engagements with religion and science, he depends on adventures with his wife Jennifer, son Aidan, and daughter Rowan to expand his sense of postsecular irony.
