I teach in the Global Studies Department at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY and am an original Weave staff member. I currently serve as Co-Director of the project. Born in Wisconsin, I did my B.A. at Wesleyan University and my M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. My research interests concern the global politics of violence and the representation of violence. I have a longstanding interest in Palestine, where I lived in 1996-97 while conducting field research for my Ph.D. dissertation.
