Alexander Orwin studied at the Committee on Social Thought from 2009-2015, writing his thesis on Alfarabi under the supervision of Professor Nathan Tarcov. After two years as a post-doc at the Program on Constitutional Government at Harvard, he began teaching at the Louisiana State University Political Science Department in 2017 and has been there ever since.
