Blanton is currently engaged in integrated corporate consultation from his research for ongoing developments in cultures of sexual wellness and cultures of everyday ‘self-dosing’ as a kind of aspirational spiritual exercise (queries to ward.blanton@aya.yale.edu). He is also working on two large book projects: The Sexuality Study Bible for Yale University Press, and Kant’s Drinking Party, Hegel’s Coffee Machine: How Philosophers Rebranded Religion, Race, and Drugs as the Self-dosing Spirit of Capitalism.
