What I'm looking for

I am seeking a position that allows me to further explore democratic theory while engaging in meaningful teaching and research.

I am a dedicated PhD candidate in Political Science at The New School for Social Research, with a strong focus on democratic theory and temporal critiques. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to exploring the intersections of time and democracy, culminating in my peer-reviewed publication, 'Demochronos: The Political Time of the Athenian Democracy.' I am passionate about contributing to the academic community through teaching and research.

Throughout my career, I have developed and taught various courses at esteemed institutions, including Siena College and SUNY Albany, where I have received recognition as an Outstanding Adjunct Instructor. My teaching philosophy emphasizes critical thinking and engagement with political concepts, preparing students to navigate complex political landscapes. I am also actively involved in professional associations, contributing to the field through peer review and conference organization.
