Aaron Stauffer is the director of online learning and the Louisville Institute Postdoctoral Fellow at Vanderbilt Divinity School, working primarily with the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice. Before his doctoral work and his time at Vanderbilt, Stauffer organized with the Industrial Areas Foundation in San Antonio, Texas. Between his seminary degree and his doctoral work, he led a national anti-Islamophobia initiative based in the Southeast, the Our Muslim Neighbor Initiative, and he helped found Faith and Culture Center, a local nonprofit that continue this work today. His book, Listening to the Spirit: the Radical Social Gospel, Sacred Values, and Broad-Based Community Organizing will be published by Oxford University Press in 2024. Drawing on discussions of racial capitalism, feminist theory, and philosophical theology, the book makes a case for the political role of sacred values in broad-based community organizing, especially in the organizing practices of the listening campaign and relational meeting. Stauffer graduated with a PhD in social ethics from Union Theological Seminary in 2020.
