I enjoy traveling, spending too much money on tattoos, and tequila sodas. My primary interests here at Iliff exist somewhere at the intersection of theology, speculative fiction, and technology.]]> 2022-09-13 15:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sratliff8/fu2ls394hjw5oszf/wish/2294581043 sratliff8 https://padlet.com/sratliff8/fu2ls394hjw5oszf/wish/2294583460 I am married six years now to a ballerina and dance professor.

My focus at Iliff and most of my coursework has been targeted on the virtual/digital space in which religion and culture and public discourse meet. I hope to be a constructive voice in this space and desire to be a productive conversationalist in discourses on just technological practice and governance.]]> 2023-03-28 01:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sratliff8/fu2ls394hjw5oszf/wish/2534195950 sratliff8 https://padlet.com/sratliff8/fu2ls394hjw5oszf/wish/2534210541 My thesis project exists at the intersection of critical technology studies, religion, and racial signification/semiotics. I desire to apply the only truly American theological tradition of Black theology to the technological public sphere in order to continue to reveal the ways in which present-day technology (hardware, algorithms, ML/AI) is premised on white supremacist/colonialist ideals. Constructively, within my writing and my life, I desire to move folks toward an ideal of receptiveness, eschewing easy interpretations spoon-fed to you by ready sources. Rather, I intend to live in a way that encourages nuance and empathy within the technological space and beyond.]]> 2023-03-28 02:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sratliff8/fu2ls394hjw5oszf/wish/2534210541
