He holds a PhD from Boston University, where he also taught in the Writing Program and Core Curriculum.

Research interests span film/media studies, affect theory, and interdisciplinary approaches to cultural critique. His work bridges classical philosophy (e.g., Plato’s embodiment), theological inquiries (e.g., Tillich’s onto-theology), and modern issues like AI ethics. Recent publications (2021–2012) reflect themes of nostalgia, temporality, and boundary-crossing in literature and media.
Blake’s scholarly contributions include analyses of media temporality and theopoetics, with a focus on intersections between theory and pedagogy. He actively engages in CSSH’s mission to blend liberal arts with experiential learning.
