I am a political theorist and an assistant professor in the Department of American Culture and Society at the University of Alabama. My areas of research include sex and gender in the history of political thought (especially in the 17th and 18th centuries), contemporary feminist political theory, critical theory, utopian political thought, and politics and literature. I also have a longstanding interest in the political thought of the French Enlightenment. I'm currently writing my first book on sexual consent.

I have held the Carol G. Lederer Postdoctoral Fellowship in Gender Studies at Brown University’s Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women and the Clark Dissertation Fellowship at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library in Los Angeles. I've previously taught at UCLA, Vanderbilt University, and Whitman College. I received my PhD in Political Science from UCLA in 2014.
