HannahArendt.net: Journal for Political Thinking, August 2024
This paper focuses on Arendt’s treatment of the masses and uses Arendt’s methodological commitments to contingency and intersubjectively constituted truth-claims to read against her own overdetermined conclusions about the antipolitical fate of the masses.
Works in Progress:
"Beyond Sovereignty or Exile: The Limits of Exilic Jewish Politics and the Potential of Jewish Nationality"
Hannah Arendt on Race and Racism, Co-Editor
Under Review
Forthcoming, 2026
This article, adapted from final chapter of my dissertation, critiques recent Jewish scholarly and activist turns to ideals of exile and argues that existing grammars of Jewish nationality can more effectively support a Jewish embrace of binational political equality in Israel/Palestine.
This edited volume, featuring original contributions from leading commentators on Arendt’s treatments of race and racism, advances ongoing scholarly debates on Arendt’s theory and its applicability for studying contemporary issues of race/racism and politics.

Privilege and Race in Global Perspective
Instructor of Record, University of Toronto (2025)
This course provides students with a conceptual grammar of race, racism, and white supremacy applicable to divergent sociopolitical
contexts both within and outside Euro-North American locales. The course investigates the post-Civil Rights Movement United States and prewar Europe as its central case studies, primarily through the work of James Baldwin and Hannah Arendt. The theoretical encounters and conceptual vocabulary this course offers seek to be grounded in students’ own experiences and identities.
