Hi, I’m Patrick. Starting in Fall 2013, I’ll be a JD candidate at Harvard Law School. Previously, I served as the “explainer-in-chief” for Newsbound, helped Kiva set up its Strategic Initiatives Department, did a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley, and received a PhD in history from UCLA.

This website contains links to my academic work. Have look around and let me know what you think. Contact info is to the right.
