by day a political scientist! by night a significantly less intellectually responsible political scientist!
26 August 2004
matriculation was this morning at 9.30 -- i am now officially a graduate student. i have also received bags full of free shit. and free shit is never bad. unless you're speaking literally.
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.
