My research examines socialism and conservatism to locate regimes of harm articulated as Black suffering, centering the thought of C.L.R. James, Cornel West, and Huey P. Newton. By these means, I work to develop an understanding of theodicy as an activistic epistemology that conceives radicalism as integrationist unless divorced from the multidirectional assimilationist logics of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. Most recently, I'm developing a metaphysics of mendacity as correlative of idiocy in leadership. I also have a chapter contribution in the new book Race, Preaching, and Ricœur through Bloomsbury Academic.
