Alex Mikulich

Alex Mikulich is a Catholic social ethicist, award winning author, and antiracism facilitator and activist. His Unlearning White Supremacy: A Spirituality for Racial Liberation is forthcoming from Orbis Books in spring 2022. Alex's scholarship and essays address the intersection of modernity/coloniality, anti-black white supremacy, and living inter-spiritually with all of our human and non-human kin in ways that facilitate liberation so that the entire web of life may flourish and thrive. Alex co-edited and contributed to Interrupting White Privilege: Catholic Theologians Break the Silence (Orbis, 2007) that won the 2008 Theological Book of the Year from the College Theology Society. He co-authored The Scandal of White Complicity in U.S. Hyper-Incarceration: A Nonviolent Spirituality of White Resistance (Palgrave, 2013 and reissued in paper in 2015) that was called a "model of racial solidarity." His "Breathing Space: Jesuit Institutions can do more to undo racism" (America magazine, 2015) won a national award for best essay from the Catholic Press Association in 2016. His columns appear regularly in the National Catholic Reporter. He earned his doctorate in religious social ethics from Loyola University Chicago, a Master of Divinity from Weston School of Theology (now Boston College), and a Bachelor's degree in history from College of the Holy Cross. He and his beloved partner of 35 years, Kara, enjoy time with their two adult children and hiking in the mountains.
