Mark Oppenheimer on the World Wide Web

I am a writer for The New York Times Magazine, Slate, The Boston Globe, The Forward, and many other publications. The author of two books, I write magazine and newspaper articles, often about religion; I also enjoy publishing personal essays and book reviews. I am an editor of The New Haven Review, an occasional commentator on NPR, and a contributor to NewHavenIndependent.org, for which I host a podcast. In the school year 2008-2009 I will be a lecturer in the English and Political Science departments of Yale University and a visiting professor of creative writing at Wellesley College. I hold a doctorate in religious studies and am currently the coordinator of the Yale Journalism Initiative. With my wife, daughter, dog, and two cats, I live in the Westville neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut.
