Welcome!

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Houston, and am honored to be the Ross M. Lence Distinguished University Teaching Chair. 

I was previously a Junior Research Fellow at St Annes College at Oxford University (2023-2025). 

My research expertise is the legal history of democratic ideas and institutions, and I am currently working on the theological and legal history of the concept of accountability. 

You can read more about my story in the UH Magazine Spring/Summer 2026 Issue, or hear me talk it at the UH Board of Regents Meeting on my page.

You can read my work in the History of Political Thought, the Journal of the History of Ideas, and a few volumes.
