Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego. I study political theory, with a focus on democratic theory, authoritarian theory, corruption, and political epistemology. My work draws heavily on history, psychology, economics, and empirical political science. I recently received the PPE Society's Gerald Gaus Memorial PPE Essay Prize.
