“To live with the haunting fantastic is to trust what flickers at the edge of knowing.”

My name is James Howard Hill Jr., Ph.D.
I am an educator, writer, scholar, and artist—called to explore the fantastic, the fragmented, and the trouble-that-lingers through teaching, theory, and creative practice.

This site offers a glimpse into my ongoing work: research, workshops, spiritual reflection, and artmaking rooted in witness, imagination, and what the faith tradition of my you called wonder-workin’ power.

Below are three pathways into that work.
Each leads into a different facet of what I’m building, remembering, and offering.
