DISSERTATION
RUIN OR RESISTANCE: THE POLITICS OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR GENOCIDE




ESSAY: IN PROGRESS  
EMAILS PEOPLE SEND ME ABOUT GENOCIDE  

I draw on the emails people have sent me about genocide since October 2023 to follow the peculiar repetition of dissumulations circulating through the discipline of International Relations. Read dialectically with the legal discourse staged by South Africa v. Israel, I show how these dissimulations reveal a received impulse to defend genocidal intent  




ESSAY: IN PROGRESS  
SCHEMES OF SUBJECTION: THE GENOCIDE PROCEDURAL 

I develop a critique of settler cultural production of what I call a genocide procedural, an approach that adopts the narrative structure of a fugue to harmonize the dissonance of a génocidaire’s epistemology of responsibility for viewers through the “true crime” drama, Killers of the Flower Moon




CO-AUTHORED PAPER WITH S. CHOU (UCSF): IN PROGRESS
DENY, DEFLECT, DISAVOW: AN AMERICAN SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS   

We reflect on the form(s) and function(s) of domination at work in how students in the United States are inducted into a particularly rigid, positivist way of knowing the politics we call ‘International Relations’ 




ESSAY: IN PROGRESS
ALGORHYTHMIA: THE CONSTANT, RECURRING BEAT OF PAIN

Living chronically in pain, I develop the idea of algorhythym as an analytic for theorizing the social and political relations of stochastic violence, structuring life around the anticipation of pain.
