Casey Grippo primarily works in the realm of social ontology, focusing on the relationship between social forces, social groupings, and individual identity formation. Their dissertation, a prescriptive project arguing for a politics of solidarity, concentrates on solidarity as one such individuating social force worthy of cultivation. When they’re not working on their dissertation, Casey is often found writing on the role of affect in human reasoning and its socio-political impact. Otherwise, Casey is reading and writing about their favorite topic—social anarchism.
