I regularly teach constitutional law, international law, international organization, comparative law, and political theory (including introductory courses and a seminar on good and evil) both at UMass in the political science and legal studies departments and at Mt. Holyoke College in the politics department. My research interests include theories of the state (and alternatives to the state), democratic theory (including the relationships between individuals and power), and legal theory.
