Teaching is a subversive activity, and I stay active.
Media Appearances.
I believe, with Sheldon Wolin, that my work is "primarily a civic and secondarily an academic activity." For that reason, I deeply value engaging with all media outlets that allow me to speak freely.
Some of my most cherished public outreach has been as media liaison for Extinction Rebellion NYC, a group I co-founded in December 2018.
Please contact me by phone or email if you would like to interview me or book me for an appearance.
