I'm a political theorist who studies cities. I occasionally do some data analysis, epistemology, and formal theory. I'm a founding member of the Great Lakes Trust (greatlakestrust.org), a charitable endowment that supports science, art, and advocacy for fair and responsible water stewardship along the Canadian shores of the Great Lakes. I'm also a marathon swimmer.
