Zachary Ugolnik

I earned my Ph.D. from Columbia University, my master’s from Harvard University, and my bachelor’s degree from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. My work has appeared in Daedalus (2025 & 2023), Journal of Religion, Religion & Literature, and Harvard Divinity Bulletin, among other print and online publications. I have taught courses in ethics, religion, and philosophy at Mount Allison University, where I served as an Assistant Professor, and Columbia University, where I served as Mellon Interdisciplinary Fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics (INCITE). I currently work at a philanthropic foundation where I help develop and monitor grants in philosophy, theology, and the social sciences.
