DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

I work in social philosophy of language and social ontology, with connections also to epistemology and the philosophy of technology. I'm interested in political communication and the way it mediates the formation of political collectives. I've written about the nature of communication itself, about political propaganda, about social organizing and social movements, and about how different communications technologies alter the dynamics of political communication.
