Adam Kunz

Born and raised in rural southeastern Idaho in a town founded by his Mormon ancestors, Adam Kunz spent the first 25 years of his life living in the heart of “Mormondom.” After a life of deep, zealous commitment to Mormonism, he left his small hometown for law school in Washington, D.C., and was airdropped into a world starkly different from the one he had been raised in. This prompted a decade-long shift in his perspective on faith, society, and the treatment of others. Today, Adam is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where he teaches political philosophy and constitutional law. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis, and a J.D. from The George Washington University Law School. He writes and teaches on tolerance, the limits of freedom of religion, and theories of justice. He lives in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with his wife, son, and two dogs. When he is not writing or teaching, he’s playing Dungeons & Dragons or working on his pollinator habitat.
