Carl Raschke is an internationally recognized scholar, writer, and thought leader whose work spans philosophy, political theology, globalization, and the future of the university. He is Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Denver, where he previously chaired the department and directed its MA program, and was named University Lecturer for 2020-21. He has authored more than twenty books and over a thousand articles, and is frequently interviewed on postmodernism, global politics, religion, technology, and society.
For more than three decades, Raschke has helped shape American higher education. In the late 1980s and 1990s, he helped lead the national movement to establish core curriculum standards across higher and K-12 education, founding and serving as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Core Curriculum and testifying before Congress on higher education reform. He was also among the earliest scholars to map the digital future of the academy, publishing The Digital Revolution and the Coming of the Postmodern University (Routledge, 2000), and in 2005 delivered the keynote address for EDUCAUSE.
Today, Raschke works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, teaching, and curriculum design, building ventures that rethink how universities and colleges create, deliver, and assess knowledge in the AI era. His recent books include Sovereignty in the 21st Century (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024) and Neoliberalism and Political Theology (Edinburgh University Press, 2019). He also writes The Globoscope, a Substack publication ranked among the platform’s top fifty political columns.
