About

I am a graduate student at St. John’s College Graduate Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I study the history of philosophy and politics. My primary interests include Aristotle’s political thought and natural science, the reception of Greek philosophy in the medieval Islamic world, Francis Bacon, Hobbes, and Hegel, as well as the American Founding and the broader American political tradition. Alongside these, I maintain serious adjacent interests in the history of the conservative movement in Britain and the United States, the Protestant Reformation, the history and sociology of technology, international relations, and computation as a liberal art. The thread running through this work is a commitment to the close reading of political philosophy in the classical sense. My undergraduate formation at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, in English literature, early modern studies, and philosophy, gave me a grounding in continental thought and in the literature of the seventeenth century that continues to inform how I read.

Beyond my studies, I work as an editor in academic and literary publishing under the imprint Lawh Mahfuz Press.

The Links page collects resources I have found useful or return to often across the fields named above. You can find some of my essays and scholarly work on the Writing page.
