Biography
David M. McCullough is a third-year Ph.D. student and Teaching Fellow in the Philosophy Department at Boston College, specializing in continental philosophy and political philosophy. His research explores animality as a political concept, focusing on how the distinction between human and nonhuman animals shapes the boundaries of political membership and the justification of social hierarchies. He plans to write his dissertation on the political significance of animality in the works of Martin Heidegger and Gilles Deleuze. Outside of research and teaching, he enjoys weightlifting and rock climbing.
