Andrew Dilts

Andrew Dilts is a political theorist whose work focuses broadly on the history of political thought, and in particular, the discursive relationships between political membership, subjectivity, sovereignty, and punishment. He is especially interested in the connections between penal policy, race, and “identity” in the United States.
Born and raised in the midwest, Prof. Dilts studied economics at Indiana University and the London School of Economics before earning his doctorate in political science at the University of Chicago. Before joining the faculty at Loyola Marymount, he was a Harper-Schmidt Fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts at the University of Chicago, where he taught exclusively in the College's "Common Core" curriculum as Collegiate Assistant Professor of Social Sciences.
