Sidney Li

Sidney Li is a senior concentrating in Social Studies, with an interest in the ethics of intellectual activity in the multicultural West. His work focuses on how intellectuals come to understand and contribute to ethical knowledge through their interventions in public issues. He will be starting with an intellectual history project involving Foucault's lectures on ethics at the Collège de France. He also tutors economics, serves on the Board of the Directors for the Harvard International Relations Council, and pursues entrepreneurial ventures.

 

With the Lester Kissel Grant, he will be conducting archival research in France for his senior thesis, focusing on the recently published 4th volume of Michel Foucault's History of Sexuality. He hopes that this intellectual history project will help shed new light on the contributions Foucault can make to normative ethics. Sidney also tutors economics, serves on the Board of the Directors for the Harvard International Relations Council, and is a co-founder of the Harvard College Task Force on Asian and Pacific American Studies. Outside of college, he interested in the practices and ethics of tech entrepreneurship.
