I’m Jack R Leff (he/him), a Ph.D. student in the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. My dissertation is on the spatial and epistemic biopolitics of tear gas. I have a background in continental philosophy and applied ethics (M.S.) and cellular/molecular biology (B.S.), which form the backdrop for my interdisciplinary work. I’m also an active political organizer interested in prison abolition. Please feel free to shoot me an email to get in touch, I am always excited to meet other people interested in this work.
