I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at Otterbein University in Ohio, where I teach political theory and American politics. My research and teaching interests include political philosophy, critical theory, democratic theory, the politics of inequality, and political economy.
I have published articles in Historical Materialism, Postcolonial Studies, and Rethinking Marxism. In 2011, I published Rethinking Gramsci (Routledge), an anthology composed of twenty-two seminal essays on Antonio Gramsci’s political thought. Currently I am working on a book-length manuscript that examines Gramsci’s concept of “subaltern social groups.” As I show, examining the role of the subaltern in Gramsci’s work brings into relief the modalities of power and subordination in which dominant social groups maintain hegemony over subordinate groups. As I demonstrate, the concept of “subaltern social groups” provides a significant contribution to the historical study of political ideas and to the conceptual aspects of political theory.
Since 2002, I have been Editor of the International Gramsci Society (IGS) website and since 2007 Secretary of the IGS. I also sit on the editorial boards of Rethinking Marxism and the International Gramsci Journal.
