Jon Ivan Gill is currently a lecturer in English at Pomona College, and a lecturer at California State University, Dominguez Hills, Norco College, and Claremont School of Theology, teaching philosophy, religious studies, and theology. He has written multiple articles on Afrofuturism, religion, hip-hop, philosophy, poststructuralism, atheism, and creative writing.
