About

Greetings and thank you for visiting my page. I am Stephon Boatwright, an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Relations with Saint Michael's College in Colchester Vermont.  I also work with Lehman College in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City. My scholarly pursuits revolve around the realms of political violence, radical movements, American politics, and constitutional law.  I am also a former high school social studies teacher of eight years. 

​

Beyond academia, my work is dedicated to the preservation of Earth's wild landscapes and the defense of human rights both domestically and internationally. I am an active member of Human Rights Campaign, the Sierra Club, ACLU-VT, Amnesty International, and others working in the pursuit of justice and freedom. Through political organizing, I find myself at the forefront of the nation's most pivotal debates, forging relationships with policymakers and bringing more citizens into the democratic process.

​

My personal passion lies in the exploration of every corner of our vast world. Having traveled to all 50 states and numerous nations spanning four continents, I am fueled by the adventure of the unknown. An avid mountaineer and hiker, I capture my adventures through the lens of camera and film, a selection of which is featured below. My next adventure involves exploring all the nations of Europe and the Americas.

​

I invite you to explore my thoughts and reflections on the world and its affairs, and connect to stay in touch or collaborate.

 

Cheers!
