I am a political theorist and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Baruch College, CUNY. My research and teaching cover a range of contemporary and historical issues, from Native American political traditions and Classical political thought, to liberalism and technology.
My monograph, Instruments of the Soul: A New Encounter with Native American Thought will be published by Stanford University Press in 2027.
I have published other peer-reviewed work in venues including American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, American Political Thought, European Journal of Political Theory, and Security Studies. I’m also the co-editor (with A. James McAdams) of the volume Far-Right Newspeak and the Future of Liberal Democracy. I’m from Ridgeville, Ontario, Canada, and was formerly a local newspaper reporter, where I wrote news, features, and personal essays.
