Research Interests, Manuscripts, and Working Papers
Current Writing Endeavors: My interdisciplinary research agenda includes short- and long-term projects on
intersections of political theory and aesthetics in two studies. In Practical Communities, I clarify a tradition
of “political skepticism” in writings by Montaigne, Cervantes, Hobbes, and Burke as well as contemporaries
such as Oakeshott and Sartre. My argument is that these disparate thinkers share a common view about the
dangers of seeking transcendence in politics. In turning to human experience, they explore understandings
of politics based upon existing practice compared with imagined conditions. The other study turns to Willa
Cather’s fiction to imagine relationships between ordinary experience and pursuits that offer escape beyond
the commonplace in works of art. Works discussed in this interpretive interdisciplinary study shall include
Cather’s Prairie Trilogy as well as masterpieces, Death Comes for the Archbishop and Shadows on the Rock.
