Research and Teaching Interests:

William Robert teaches and writes about intersections and interactions of religion and performance. He is especially interested in limit-experiences and limit-crossings as performances of religion. He pays particular attention to mysticism, sexuality, and animality as sites where these experiences and crossings happen, focusing on case studies in ancient Greek and medieval Christian contexts. And he considers how such performances of religion can affect how we figure and refigure religion. To do so, he combines historical, textual, philosophical, and corporeal approaches to studying religion with queer theory and performance studies.
