I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Political Science department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I specialize in history of political thought, international law, political theology, and colonialism.
My dissertation, Savagery, Intervention, and the Creation of International Law: Vitoria, Grotius, and Hobbes on the “New World”,
examines the emergence of modern international law as articulated in the works of Vitoria, Grotius, and Hobbes. I have received several fellowships and awards, including the Adam Smith Fellowship from the Mercatus Center, the Humane Studies Fellowship from the Institute for Humane Studies, and the Calihan Travel Grant from the Acton Institute.
Additionally, I was nominated for the Early Excellence in Teaching Award by the UW-Madison Department of Political Science, and received a Summer Writing Scholarship from the UW-Madison Department of Political Science.
