Timothy T. Tennyson

Welcome to my website! I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Brown University. My research centers on conceptions of civic education and citizenship in the history of political thought and contemporary political theory. In particular, I am interested in the epistemological, pedagogical, and political assumptions that inform our understanding of the scope and function of civic education in liberal-democratic states. I also work on Ancient Roman political thought and contemporary liberal theory.

​

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2025 and my B.A. (summa cum laude) from Carthage College in 2017. I also spent a year (2017-2018) teaching English and Western Culture at the Foreign Business and Trade College of Chongqing Normal University.
