Having taught at the University of Manchester, King’s College London, and Utrecht University, I have significant teaching experience in the area of political theory. This includes introductory courses which familiarise students with core topics and methods, as well as more advanced modules on applied political theory, democratic theory, the environment, and economic justice.
I also have a strong interest in the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary education, having taught extensively on political economy programmes and politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE) degrees. I am currently collaborating with colleagues on a new PPE textbook which will offer an integrated approach for student starting to engage in interdisciplinary research.

Challenges to Democratic Politics (2nd Year UG): Applied political theory (civil disobedience, poverty, health inequality, etc.).
