As a political scientist who studies political theory and public law, I'm committed to demonstrating how the foundational texts of the 17th-early 20th century (e.g., Locke, Astell, Blackstone, Wollstonecraft, Douglas, Well-Barnett, Rawls, Mills) affect contemporary politics.

I've been editing in my head on Wikipedia for a long time. But now I'm here to contribute when I see important facts and topics that are absent. I consult lists of needed edits as part of the following projects: User WikiProject Politics, User WikiProject Feminism, and User WikiProject Law.

I am currently editing the Wikipedia page for the Comstock Acts and welcome help!

Also happy to help on other projects -- so please let me know if you need another pair of eyes on a page.

Shaftesbury's Pipe refers to a a device that philosopher John Locke suggested for his boss, Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury (head of the Whig Party). Locke was Shaftebury's secretary. The pipe was a small device that made Cooper able to continue his work in politics. I'm here for the small details.
