Political Theory, Johns Hopkins University

I study and teach political theory at The Johns Hopkins University. For both teaching and research, I employ an interdisciplinary approach to political theory, in which theory influences and is influenced by other subfields, practices, disciplines, methods, and experiences. My research is centered around the intersection of global violence—the ways in which violence and vulnerabilities are coded, conditioned, obscured, and perpetuated at the local and global levels—and democratic theory—conceptualizations of practices that configure and refigure public life at multiple registers.
