Biography
Beckett Rueda is a summer research fellow at the Civitas Institute and a Ph.D. student in government at UT-Austin.

His current project treats the relationship between divine and civil authority in Locke’s English Tract. It is the first part of a larger investigation into the way that Locke’s theological and epistemological writings illuminate and influence his political theory.
