Alex Haskins currently holds the rank of Assistant Professor of Politics and International Relations at Wheaton College (IL). He earned his PhD from the University of Chicago, his MA from Harvard University, and his BA from Bowdoin College. Trained as a political theorist and historian of political thought, his research and teaching interests center on the complex histories of imperialism, colonialism, and Christianity in the modern world—particularly in Africa, the Americas, and Asia—and what implications such grappling might have for global justice, international law, multiculturalism, and global missions. He is currently revising his book manuscript on the “glocalization” of non-domination in the political thought of Montesquieu (1689-1755), Wei Yuan (1794-1856), and W.E.B. DuBois (1868-1963).
