I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at California Polytechnic State University. My research and teaching focus on the history of political thought and political economy, the political theory of empire and race, and the transnational history and politics of slavery and abolition. My work has been published in Theory & Event and is forthcoming in Social Research.

My book manuscript, tentatively titled Capitalist Abolitionism: Racial Capitalism after the End of Slavery, develops a conception of capitalist abolitionism to explain how the emancipation projects of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century liberal political economists ideologically reproduced dynamics of racial capitalism in the British and French Caribbean, Cuba, and the U.S. South.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2024.
