I joined the CSUS Government Department in the fall of 2003. Before that I held a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Science & Technology Studies at Bielefeld University in Germany. I completed a Ph.D. in political science at Rutgers University in 2001. My areas of interest include modern and contemporary political theory, democratic theory, and science and technology studies. I recently completed a two-year project, "Toward a Political Theory of Bioethics," funded by the National Science Foundation.
