I'm interested in understanding contemporary political and social problems through the prism of political theory / political philosophy. My research is interdisciplinary, thematic, and conceptual. It draws on political theory (paradoxes of democracy, paradoxes of freedom, radical resistance and political violence, civil disobedience), social philosophy (desires for recognition), moral philosophy (normative ethics), sociology (social movement theory), and iconography (especially as it relates to the process of violence).
