PhD Anthropology, 91社区; MA Social Anthropology, Concordia University

Thesis:听"Good Politics": Property, Intersectionality, and the Making of the Anarchist Self
Interests:听The PhD dissertation explores anarchist networks that cross Qu茅bec, the United States, Mexico and beyond, to illustrate similarities and differences among diverse anarchist scenes, as well as examine diverse contradictions characterizing anarchist solidarity activism and settler 鈥榓narchoindigenism鈥�. The multi-sited ethnography throws into relief the particular practices of university-educated Anglo-American leftists, and draws on anthropological, feminist and critical race theory to show how they have preempted the black feminist challenge of 鈥渋ntersectionality鈥� by recuperating its praxis within the logic of neoliberal self-making projects and property relations. The anarchists are finally presented as a limit case: even within their 鈥榓utonomous鈥� practices, the propertizing self prevails in the game of 鈥済ood politics鈥� - the Bridge of all prestige games, and one which structures much contemporary critical academic scholarship as well. Ongoing post-doctoral research concerns 鈥渃onspiracy theory鈥�; the politics of trauma and recognition in North America; the political economy of marijuana legalization in the Americas.
