Welcome to my webpage. On this page you will find a c.v., my courses, recent research, various articles, and more. Like the author, this page is a work in progress.
The university "marks our commitment to the idea that somewhere in society there must be an organization in which anything can be studied or questioned -- not merely safe and established things but difficult and inflammatory things, the most troublesome questions of politics and war, of sex and morals, of property and national loyalty."
-- Richard Hofstadter, "The 214th Columbia University Commencement Address," American Scholar 37 (Autumn 1968), 584.
Courses
"Any student of average intelligence, possessed of an enthusiastic and
optimistic turn of mind, and with enough self-confidence to trust his own common
sense, will not only do well in the course, but have a most pleasant year while
he is doing it."
-- Dwight D.
Eisenhower, 1926
