My research is principally focused on the interpretation and criticism of fundamental concepts in political science, theory, and philosophy including political representation, interests, judgment, agency, deliberation, and aggregation. I am particularly interested in how we might draw from tools from theoretical philosophy to help clarify long-running disputes surrounding central concepts in the history of political thought, and aid our efforts at institutional design specifically and normative theorizing generally. I also have interests in debates about how to reinterpret political concepts in the age of AI, political philosophy and political science methodology, and political economy.
