Welcome. I am a political theorist primarily interested in the nature of the free society and the relationship between the market and the value of community. What ties my work together is an interest in understanding how the realization of political ideals depends not just on coercive institutions, but also on the attitudes, behaviors, and practices of people within and without those institutions.

I am currently a Junior Faculty Fellow at the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics. Starting Fall 2019, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Georgia.
