Biography
Elliott Schwebach completed his PhD in Spring 2022 and has served as a lecturer, consultant, and occasional retail associate since. Currently, he is working with the Washington State Bar Association as an Equity and Justice Lead and taking a welcome break from moonlighting. After 5pm, you might find him at a kava bar, browsing poetry in used bookstores, or taking a walk through city streets.
"In this brilliant and needed interdisciplinary book, scholar and activist Elliott Schwebach, relying on philosophy and psychoanalysis, critically examines our understanding of property with the aim of offering a more ecological relation to materiality and other-than-human beings. In the midst of the climate crisis, readers of Schwebach’s book will have hope that capitalism is not the only alternative."
Ryan LaMothe, Ph.D., Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology
