Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

I am a filmmaker and have made 11 documentary films. Nine of the films are about social theory and are distributed through Insight Media. Whispers of Revolution and Dystopia: What is to be done? are feature-length documentaries that are available for free watching. I am also author of the books Dystopia; The Bet: Truth in Science, Literature and Everyday Knowledges; and The Philosophy of Social Science: New Perspectives; as well as numerous scholarly articles. I was also co-editor of the book After Postmodernism.
I continue to have an interest in the philosophy of social science. But my more recent research is upon the internet resistance group Anonymous, and also upon resistance to the increasing neo-liberalization of the university.
