Blake Trimble is the Dean of Morse College at Yale University. His research and teaching at Yale focuses on the notion of "vie quotidienne" as a concept within critical and cultural theory.
Blake Trimble recently moved to Yale to become the Dean of Morse College and teach in the Humanities and Religious Studies departments. His research focuses on theories of "everyday life" as the site of cultural resistance and the formation of social beliefs, drawing from writers such as Michel de Certeau and Roland Barthes. He is particularly interested in the role of spirituality and subversive practices of religion within systems of power and symbolic order. Prior to working at Yale, he spent six years at Oxford working with various charities and local ministries while studying 20th century Jesuit theology and the French Resistance. He also worked with the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at Oxford in researching the intersectionality between religion and nationalism in both the “East” and the “West.” At the moment, he enjoys trying various seafood in New England and hiking with his wife, Daniella, and their new puppy.
