Today, I passed my dissertation defense for “Partisans of the Old Republic: Right-Wing Opposition to U.S. Foreign Policy.” This is the culmination of a years-long journey not just with the PhD but also through the tribulations of the COVID era and the struggles of raising a young son. I couldn’t have done it without the love and patience of my dear wife and family. I look forward to finishing this up as a book and future projects!
