One perspective

[American political science] is attacked for its alleged eschewing of the normative, ahistorical nature, obsession with the quantifiable, and cult of methodology which results in a sterile, status quo oriented political science capable of accumulating mountains of trivia, and incapable of attacking problems of moment.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
