His research and teaching interests are primarily modern European intellectual history, the history of philosophy, political and social theory, and psychoanalysis. He has a particular interest in German intellectuals in the early twentieth century and is currently working on a book manuscript based on his dissertation, The Extremist: Walter Benjamin and the Radical Critique of Society, 1912-1924. His translations of essays by Louis Althusser, Walter Benjamin, and Jacques Derrida have appeared in Décalages, Barricade, and Law and Literature, respectively .
