Evan Birks ‘26

Evan Birks is conducting research with Professor Emma Planinc in the political science department, focusing on political theory and the history of political thought. As part of this research, Birks will be analyzing and comparing secondary source writings on different subjects to build foundations for Professor Planinc's work. Birks will also be assisting in the compilation of a methodology work on political thought and the different conceptualizations of reading political works. This work will be helpful both for Birks and others as they continue deeper research into different authors and can better filter through the writings of others.
