Nicholas Kenney: Piloting and Politics, Imperfectly

Nick is a writer, educator, and explorer of complexity in law and politics. He grew up moving up and down the East Coast of the United States but today considers himself a die-hard New Englander and Boston sports fan. He loves reading, running, and learning from students and his career has taken him to London, Belfast, Dublin, and Jerusalem, studying conflict and diplomacy. Recently, he has taken up flying and hopes to get his pilot's license someday. He lives with his family outside of Boston and cannot wait for fall to start each year.
