Kevin is a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy & Religion at UNT. His dissertation argues that a climate changing world is a world ripe for fascisms. He is specifically interested in the everyday tendencies through which fascisms coalesce into larger movements, and how climate changing events aggravate fascist tendencies and sensibilities. His approach meanders and drifts, engaging French post-structuralism (Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, in particular), phenomenology, environmental philosophy, cultural criticism, and aesthetics. He is a research assistant for the Onstead Institute at UNT, currently co-editing a book length volume on “drift studies,” as well as an adjunct professor of philosophy at North Central Texas College. Outside of academia, Kevin enjoys punk music. Find his recent publication on antifascist pedagogical strategies here.
