Dr. Caterwaul's Cadre of Clairvoyant Claptraps
These days I’m the arts editor at the New Haven Independent , where I mostly write and edit arts stories and the occasional news story. I’ve also done editing work for DataHaven , a regional public policy thinktank.
Pre- New Haven Independent, I worked for a variety of public policy organizations and academic presses, among them the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and Columbia University Press. While getting my masters degree in public policy from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, I was senior editor of its Journal of International Affairs.
Some of my favorite pieces I’ve written for the Independent include an op-ed about opening schools during the COVID-19 pandemic , a writeup of an art exhibit about gun violence , coverage of a St. Patrick’s Day parade that got into maybe what it means to be Irish-American these days , and an analysis of the legality of sanctuary cities (of which New Haven is proudly one) that let me dust off my policy hat.
