Angel Eduardo
Angel Eduardo is FIRE’s senior writer and editor, as well as managing editor of both the FIRE Quarterly magazine and FIRE president Greg Lukianoff's Substack newsletter, The Eternally Radical Idea. He is best known for creating the rhetorical concept of star-manning, which emphasizes compassion and shared humanity as the foundation for constructive dialogue. He is currently board chair for the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism, and is on the board of advisors for Atheists for Liberty as well as the Institute for Liberal Values.
Angel graduated with an M.F.A. in creative writing from CUNY Hunter College in New York City, and has been featured in USA Today, The Free Press, Quillette, Persuasion, and Newsweek Opinion, among other print and online publications.
Through his work at FIRE, Angel hopes to continue promoting a culture of free speech, free inquiry, and freedom of expression through honest, good-faith, and compassionate engagement with people across the political and ideological spectrum — all bolstered by his six words of advice: Be kind; we’re all first drafts.
