My research and teaching interests include political philosophy, American politics, American foreign policy, and international politics.

My research centers on the history of political thought, with a focus on national identity, historical consciousness, and civic thought. I explore a range of topics, from twentieth-century Spanish and early American political thought to contemporary questions in liberal and democratic theory. I also write more broadly on the ancient and modern traditions in political theory.

As an Access Services Librarian, I'm interested in equitable access to library resources, as well as the rhetoric and ideology of the retail service industry and its impact on the academic library. 

My research interests include rare book cataloging, project management in libraries, special collections librarianship, and digital libraries.
