after much consideration, have revamped my sidebar -- added a bunch of new places and recategorized a bit. the level of anxiety caused by trying to categorize a few people was immense. first i got rid of the left-feminist divide (how theoretically challenging of me!). then i worried about whether people (bitch phd, mostly) were left/fem or ivory tower. the rule there is "if it's mostly about politics, and it's not explicitly from the perspective of the person's discipline, then it's l/f, not academic." then i decided that everyone i know personally who *ever* blogs about life instead of work goes under friends, not under ivory tower. megan, mike, that's you. tell me if you want that to change.
last but not least: say hello to ray, reed and michael, joint exploders of the "swat-blogger" heading and wonderful folks all. especially ray, who shares a bunch of genetic material with me. are there any more forks bloggers out there?

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

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.
