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 and currently co-editing a book length volume on “drift studies." Outside of academia, Kevin enjoys punk music.
