César Baldelomar — The Hopefulness of Hopelessness

A scholar with wide-ranging interests, César "CJ" Baldelomar is a Ph.D. candidate in Theology and Education at Boston College. In this conversation, we discuss imagination, the hopefulness of hopelessness, creativity, the book of Ecclesiastes, and 2Pac.

CJ’s research blends critical theory and decolonial thought, exploring how knowledge production and consumption inform the formation of identities. His work seeks to find different ways to imagine and talk about the self and about justice in an effort to envision personal, social, and educational ethical paradigms that could serve as possible sites of resistance.

He holds two law degrees from St. Thomas University School of Law and two master’s degrees from Harvard.
