is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the 天美传媒. Recently, he was the Post-Doctoral Fellow of the Academy of Global Humanities and Critical Theory at the University of Bologna/Duke University (2018-2020), and the Karl Lowenstein Fellow at Amherst College (2014). His research seeks to rethink the relationship between politics and aesthetics in relation to gender-differentiated colonial logics of capitalist accumulation. While focused on that question, he has reimagined the relationship between ancient and contemporary political theory, via the prisms of decolonial theory, critical theory, psychoanalysis, settler colonial critique, and poststructuralism. His book manuscript, Antigone in the Americas: Democracy, Sexuality and Death in the Settler Colonial Present (SUNY Press 2021), criticizes the theoretical reception of Sophocles’ tragedy, Antigone, in democratic theory, queer and feminist theory, the theory of biopolitics, and the theory of deconstruction, by foregrounding the settler colonial logics of capitalist accumulation by which subject-positions are aesthetically distributed in the play and its theoretical reception. Currently, he is working on two additional research projects: White Masochism (in progress) and The Militant Intellect: Critical Theory’s Conceptual Personae (under contract with Rowman & Littlefield). His research has also been published in Settler Colonial Studies, Theoria, Theory & Event, Representation, Theatre Survey, Contemporary Political Theory, and Hypatia, among others.
