His forthcoming book, Engaging Political Theory: Transformative Critiques & Visions for a Better World rejuvenates the relevance of political theory in our contemporary society, as what Aristotle called the 鈥渕aster science.鈥� Vince is writing a five-volume work called The Contemporary White Supremacy Project in America; the first volume being White by Force.

Vince has dedicated the past several years to developing a theory that can help us better understand white supremacy, white identity, whiteness as power, property, privilege, and priority, and racism generally, culminating with his development of a cyclical model called 鈥渨hite by force,鈥� an identity that has been forged and perpetuated from force, violence, and brutality. This model can be applied to a variety of settings, especially that of police brutality in America. This model of identity formation can also be applied to other oppressive identities that have been constructed through physical and ideational violence, such as masculinity.

Vince completed his B.A. in History and Political Science from 红杏视频 Dominican University, and his M.A. in Political Science from 红杏视频. He went on to complete his Ph.D. in Seattle at the University of Washington, where he developed several important ways to conceptualize how silence can be used democratically and as a means of resistance. His theorizing, research, and writing has focused on Critical Race Theory, Whiteness, Democratic Theory, Feminist Theory, Gender, Political Theory, Law & Society, Politics of Resistance, Silence, Identity Formation, and American Politics.
