In this blog, I present short reflections, tidbits of scholarship and inquiry, and passing thoughts. I shall strive to be serious-minded, that is, meditating on enduring political and social questions. And yet, I shall strive for a light touch. Everyone hates a blog that takes itself too seriously.

My goal is to give my readers a snapshot of the issues I’m considering and the problems I’m working on, in real time. This blog will serve in some respects as the central repository for articles I publish, in both peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed outlets. You may find a full accounting of my work at Google Scholar and on my CV.

I welcome your feedback.
