Research Interests

My research interests cleave in two distinct directions. I am completing a book on Wittgenstein and Political Theory; part of a larger study of contemporary political theory as a series of responses to political trauma (genocide, war, the Holocaust) and ecological catastrophe. My second area of scholarly interest is the politics of sustainable development, where I am formulating a position I call "Political Ecology" that considers the larger political effects of acknowledging the illogic of limitless economic growth on a planet of limited natural resources.
