Hi, I’m a new visiting professor in the department of Political Science. This fall, I will be teaching classes on Plato’s political philosophy and environmental ethics. My research is in the history of philosophy, and I focus primarily on Plato’s appropriation of other Ancient Greek thinkers. But my intellectual interests range broadly, from the legitimacy of political structures to the nature of language and to environmental obligations. My work in ethics and political philosophy is rooted in a yearning for peace and a concern for justice, and my passion for environmental philosophy draws from my love of my home state (Montana), of alpinism, of running and hiking, and really of anything mountain.
