I'm a PhD student in Sociology at the Yale School of the Environment and do other things too, like rock climbing and politics. I really like talking to people about things like the environment and culture and science. Good dialogue unfolds slowly. It's not linear. And that's what this show is: dialogue.

Conservatism and the Environment

I asked an AI-bot to read a little extended abstract I wrote for the American Sociological Association's annual meeting. It's pretty academic, but a good little summary of what my work has been focused on over the past few years: conservatism, nazism, ecofascism, nature, and the environment.

The Trouble With Home

Feb 19 2023 6 mins

A brief reflection on Bill Cronon's 1998 essay "The Trouble With Wilderness". A lot of this thinking is built up on Bruno Latour's idea of "coming down to earth" and Isabelle Stenger's idea of "obligations."
