About.

I am an Assistant Professor of International Organization and Norms in the Department of Political Science at the University of Arkansas. My work extends across the fields of international relations, political theory, and history, and is focused on the politics of (international) ordering, with an emphasis on the role of race and colonialism, which I approach through interpretive methodologies

I received a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto, as well as a joint Master’s degree in International Relations from the Free University of Berlin, the Humboldt University of Berlin, and the University of Potsdam, and I received my PhD in Political Science from Northwestern University. Prior to joining the University of Arkansas, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Global Politics at Scripps College in Claremont, California.

My published work has appeared in International Organization, International Theory, International Relations, and Ethics & International Affairs, and my research has received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Buffett Institute for Global Affairs, and the International Studies Association.

When I’m not working, I enjoy travelling, cooking, reading, and hanging out with my cat, Jacques Derrida.
