Hello,
I’m a political and comparative-historical sociologist with broad interests in social theory, political economy, and the philosophy of the social sciences. My research represents an effort to revise theories of political domination in light of a keen sensitivity to change over time. I address questions of social processes and historical methodologies in my conceptual and epistemic work, and examine specific forms of authority and autonomization in my empirical work. In my book project, I show that the unprecedented wave of urban population growth and the proliferation of squatter settlements in 20th century Mexico City shaped politics in a non-linear pattern, initially helping to bolster the Institutional Revolutionary Party (which ruled the country for decades) and then helping to undermine it. I earned my dual B.A. degree in Sociology and History from UC Berkeley (2011) and my M.A. (2014) and Ph.D. (2023) degrees from the University of Michigan. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max-Weber-Institut für Soziologie, Universität Heidelberg (2023-2024). I am now Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto. This website has my CV and my contact information. |
