I just returned page proofs for an article that I’m really excited about. It’s a part of a symposium on continental and feminist pedagogy that will be in the next issue of PhiloSOPHIA. The full table of contents is online, and I’m honored to share journal space with Sina Kramer, Andrea Janae Sholtz, Hernando A. Estévez, and Holly Moore.

I’ll be presenting a paper on the power to pardon in Rousseau, Hegel, and Derrida in a few weeks at the UCLA political theory workshop. Really looking forward to it!

Locke article published in Political Theory

My article, “To Kill a Thief: Punishment, Proportionality, and Criminal Subjectivity in Locke’s Second Treatise” has been published in the new issue of Political Theory. While the final version is behind the journal’s “pay-wall,” an earlier draft is freely available via SSRN. Thank you to the countless people who helped me produce this article. It’s been a LONG time coming.

foucault studies, issue 12

andrew — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:05:58 +0000

Foucault Studies 12 is now out, and it’s an amazing issue focused on Foucault and Race. I have a piece in it (on neoliberalism and Foucault’s ethics), but mostly, I’m just honored by the company I get to keep! The issue features new work by amazing folks including Ladelle McWhorter (one of my philosophical heroes), Falguni Sheth, Brad Stone, Mary Beth Mader, Thomas Biebricher, and more.

UPDATE: syllabi posted!

Talk at Luther College

andrew — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 21:27:03 +0000

I’m really excited to be giving a talk this next week at the Luther College Philosophy Colloquium. It will be a sort of general talk drawn from the book on the “blindspots” in contemporary American liberal theory to questions of criminality and voting rights. UPDATE: Apparently, the student paper covered my talk!

the wonders of technology

andrew — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 19:03:14 +0000

Last week, I had an amazing conversation with the Critical Genealogies Collaboratory out at U of O. Colin Koopman runs the group, and skyped me in for an hour to talk about a forthcoming piece of mine in Foucault Studies. The questions were incredible, and the comments much appreciated. Thank you to everyone in the group!

roy gardner

My heart is heavy to learn that my dear friend and undergraduate mentor, Prof. Roy Gardner of Indiana University has passed away. Roy was an amazing professor, a dedicated advisor, and one of the finest people I’ve known in my life.

When I decided to be an econ major in college, Roy made it possible (I was short on credit hours to keep my scholarship, so he set up a last minute reading course with me and together we read everything from Smith to Marx to Galbraith). He advised my senior thesis on Hobbes (possibly one of the strangest senior thesis the department had seen), and even though he was a game theorist by trade, he always insisted that economics had a history worth reading, remembering, and critiquing.

I’ll miss you, Roy.

change of seasons

andrew — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 17:25:11 +0000

In keeping with my apparent seasonal updates, this is a winter update about a forthcoming update: I’ll be moving institutions this coming fall, and I’m expecting good news on two peer-reviewed articles that will be coming out in the next year. that is all.
