Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Florida. My research and teaching lie at the intersections of Legal and Constitutional Studies; Political Theory; American Political Development; and Race, Ethnicity, and Politics.

My current book project explores and traces the settler colonial and revolutionary origins of the modern corporation in America. ​It has been supported by the UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and UC Berkeley, School of Law; the ​Ford Foundation; and the National Science Foundation and the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. 

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Brown University. I also have an M.P.P. from the Harvard Kennedy School, where I concentrated in Democracy, Politics, and Institutions; and a B.A. magna cum laude from the College of William & Mary, where I majored in Government and Economics. I have previously worked for the United Nations Development Programme and the International Labour Organization.
