Aaron Martin researches political theory, focusing on political provocation. He began studying local food politics as founder and director of the local community-like garden project, TLC Charitable City Garden. He is the faculty sponsor of the WSU’s Warrior Garden, which was integrated into his honors seminar course: Surveying the Politics of Food.
He also teaches three honors seminar sections of the first-year course: The City. The classroom becomes the City of Detroit, from museums such as the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Historical Museum, to the famed historical Detroit Eastern Market and the Redford Theatre.
He obtained a PhD in political science from WSU (2014). As a life-long Detroiter, he enjoys the opportunity to apply his knowledge of and commitment to the city and the auto industry into the classroom as well as his research interests.
