I am a doctoral candidate in Politics at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. My dissertation examines the personalist and Christian political philosophy of Venerable José María Arizmendiarrieta, the Spanish-Basque Catholic priest and founder of the Mondragón Cooperative Corporation. My broader research interests include the history of political and economic thought and contemporary debates on cooperativism, work, freedom, and political economy, approached from a Neo-Scholastic perspective.
