Who am I?

I’m a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Connecticut, where I specialize in political theory and public law.

My research investigates normative concepts in political philosophy — including autonomy, authority, equality, liberty, justice, rights, and sovereignty — analyzing their history and their application in legal philosophy, environmental political theory, and the law.

See my research.

My ongoing dissertation project examines the six women justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, analyzing how they reason through separation-of-powers disputes and define the scope of executive and judicial power.

My additional interests include renewable energy and resource politics; political and social ecology; AI and technology ethics; U.S. political thought; constitutional law and judicial behavior; and the intellectual history of anarchist, libertarian, reactionary, and Romantic traditions.
