I am currently a senior researcher with Security in Context, where I co-direct the race/gender/class and (in)security research track. Formerly the SHIFT Endowed Associate Professor of Applied Ethics at Hampshire College, I have also held positions at Franklin and Marshall College, Worcester State University, the University of Oregon, and Globernance (Instituto de Gobernanza Democrática).
I am also a UX researcher working in the ML/AI sphere, with an explicit focus on responsible AI.* I wear many hats! I also wear a few belts–specifically a second dan black belt in WTF/ITF Tae Kwon Do and a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
My teaching and research take place at the intersection of social-political philosophy, applied ethics, critical race theory, conflict resolution, decolonial theory, and global studies. I am equipped to teach a range of courses that draw on my international research and I am eager to take students out of the classroom to more fully ground their studies in meaning-making encounters.
I am also interested in the fine arts, martial arts, and being outside. I especially enjoy remote and isolated spaces. Most of all I like spending time with my family.
