by day a political scientist! by night a significantly less intellectually responsible political scientist!

elliott smith died, and now i'm sad. also it's a very...um...atmospheric...fall day, just right for making me wish i never ever ever had to get out of bed.
welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
