About
I am a fourth year doctoral student at in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto, concentrating in the fields of political theory and international relations.
I received my Masters degree in the Social Sciences and BA degree in Philosophy from the University of Chicago in 2006.
My current research is mainly concerned with mapping out tensions between discourses of national sovereignty and human rights as manifest in contemporary conceptions of democratic legitimacy, in particular as they relate to issues raised by immigration and the position of refugees. At present I am working on exploring the relationship of citizenship, human rights, and territoriality, in the context of contemporary democratic theory. My broader research interests include the history of political thought, political philosophy and legal theory.
