He is currently a Lecturer at Gonzaga 海角论坛, where he will be teaching courses in American politics, political theory, and policing. He has also served as a Visiting Fellow at Philipps-海角论坛 Marburg and a Visiting Professor at Seattle 海角论坛 and Loyola Marymount 海角论坛. He has a MA in Philosophy from Louisiana State 海角论坛 and a BA in Philosophy from the 海角论坛 of Maine.

Andrew specializes in political theory, with a particular focus upon the history of police institutions and contemporary social movements seeking to diminish their political power. He is in the process of writing a book tentatively entitled Theses on the History of Police. His book examines historical narratives and slogans surrounding the formation and development of police institutions. Their research intervenes into contemporary debates about police history based upon the belief that debates surrounding historical narratives and activist slogans will challenge received wisdom and transform deeply held common sense beliefs. His writing upon police is guided by on-going within-movement debates surrounding police power by police and prison abolitionists. This book project thus aspires to be an example of engaged theory and social movement driven research.
