"The concept of politics
rarely announces itself without
some sort of adherence of the
State to the family, without what
we will call a schematic of filiation:
stock, genus or species,
sex (Geschlecht), blood, birth,
nature, nation." Derrida

Psychoanalysis, 19th and 20th Century Continental Philosophy, Political Philosophy, French Feminism

I am primarily interested in questions that arise at the juncture of psychoanalysis and political philosophy. More specifically, my work focusses on the significance of the unconscious (fantasies and drives) in establishing, sustaining, and threatenting political community, pointing toward the limits and impasses of the political itself. I teach courses in political philosophy, continental philosophy, psychoanalysis, and French feminism.
