I am a lawyer, a political theorist, and an Assistant Professor of Law at Chicago-Kent College of Law, where I teach courses in constitutional law, property law, and labor law.

 

My research focuses on public law theory, constitutional law, and race, and has appeared or is forthcoming in the Indiana Law Journal, Cardozo Law Review,William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal, and Political Theory. I am currently completing a first book—tentatively entitled, The Spirit of Caste—based on my doctoral dissertation, which received the American Political Science Associations 2024 Edward S. Corwin Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation in the Field of Public Law.
