About the Author: Joseph Duggan

Episcopal scholar-priest who is not ashamed of his "Anglican" heritage as it recovers the precolonial roots of Anglicanism. Imitating these Anglican roots Joe seeks the spatial privilege to be in the midst of radically opposing identities that disturb facile notions of unity resisting ideological notions of divinity. Founder of the Postcolonial Theology Network (PTN) on Facebook in Sept 2008; founder of Postcolonial Networks in February 2010 that includes the PTN website, the future postcolonial theologies-theories journal to be launched with Mario Aguilar Benitez at University of St. Andrew's within the next year and Widow's Mite, a foundation to enable cutting edge postcolonial scholarship (2011). The PTN initiates research networks around the world to produce high quality publications in disciplines that have historically not prioritized postcolonial research. Recent and future meetings include the first postcolonial Anglican critique of Church of England's mission of producing foreign parts (May 2008); bridging postcolonial theologies and theories in India (Jan 2010); developing a distinctive evangelical approach to postcolonial theology (Oct 2010); examine Edinburgh 1910 from a postcolonial mission theology perspective (Nov 2010) and integrate postcolonial and queer theologies and theories to honor Marcella Althaus-Reid, author of Indecent Theology (TBD 2011 with Mario Aguilar Benitez at University of St. Andrew's Scotland). Spouse-partner with Stefani Schatz, Episcopal priest and Rector of a large urban parish in Reno, Nevada. As busy as we are we share an evening meal four out of seven nights each week and enjoy cooking, travel and board games.
