I’m a scholar of political theory and recently joined Binghamton University as Visiting Assistant Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences in the Source Project. My interdisciplinary teaching in political science, philosophy, and environmental studies reflects a wide-ranging research agenda in political theory.
political theory in the future tense
As a political theorist, I’m drawn to questions about the future - how we imagine it and who has the power to shape it.
My work examines thought and action in times of crisis, from the twentieth-century traumas of totalitarianism and nuclear war to the political, technological, and ecological crises that will define our century.
