I am an associate professor of political science in the Department of Political Science. I have been an assistant professor at McMaster University, a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Brown University's Political Theory Project, and a College Fellow at Harvard University. I received my Ph.D in political science from Columbia University in 2010.
My research interests include the history of political and economic thought; theories of freedom; work and leisure; Marxism; rights theory; republicanism; and democratic theory. I also write political commentary, for publications like Jacobin, Dissent, and Salon, and run a critical political economy blog The Current Moment www.thecurrentmoment.wordpress.com
