University student. My primary academic interests are bright-green environmentalism, political theory, ethics, and the history of economics. I'm also interested in the current transitions in American party politics, especially the social democratic challenge to the mainstream left and the nationalist challenge to the mainstream right. I'm interested in cultural responses to consumerism and materialism, especially through the works of writers like David Foster Wallace. I'm also a musician equally obsessed with Palestrina, Bach, and the Mountain Goats.
