About


Welcome to my site! I am a PhD candidate in political science with research and teaching interests in contemporary political theory, legal theory, social movements, and the politics of prison and police abolitionism. I also hold a Master of Legal Studies degree from the University of Chicago Law School. My dissertation and draft book manuscript, An Abolitionist Theory of Law, places the writings and activities of prison and police abolitionists in the United States in conversation with a range of work in political and legal theory to illuminate a theory of law divorced from sovereign violence and prefigured in contemporary abolitionist thought and praxis. I am on the academic job market in the 2024-25 cycle.
