Ph.D. candidate Kathryn Lawson was recently featured at "Death/ Text/ Resonance: Simone Weil and Writing to(wards) Death", presented by the “trans | discipline Simone Weil denʞkollektiv.” Please see Kate's talk, "Decreation as creation or as destruction?" and feel free to engage in the conversation around Simone Weil's concept of decreation.
Lawson was also recently awarded the Junior Weilienne Scholar Grant to present her paper “Embodying Decreation: Simone Weil's Ethics” at the annual American Weil Society conference "Simone Weil on spirituality, beauty and justice" at Boston College.
Lawson's recent contributions to Weil scholarship come on the heels of her two new publications:

“The Ethical Imperative of Reincarnation in the Timaeus and the Bhagavad Gita”. Symposia: The Journal of Religion 10 (2019): 9-19.
