I'm the Director of Revelle College’s Humanities Program at UC San Diego. I manage the program and lecture for the five-course sequence. The Humanities Program is a general education requirement that develops students' analytical writing through an engagement with core texts in the history and thought of the Western tradition from the Ancient Mediterranean to the present. My experience in the Humanities has led me to explore diverse interests in literature, philosophy, and pedagogy. Check out the projects page to see some recent work in progress and the blog for some occasional writing.
I received a PhD in Political Science from UC San Diego in 2010. The project centered on global justice, focusing on the conceptual and practical difficulties of assessing the representative status of nongovernmental organizations. It looked at the intellectual development of our conception of political representation and how it can be disentangled from sovereignty and rethought to recognize a more diverse range of claims to represent.
