I have significant teaching experience in political theory, having taught introductory and advanced courses at the University of Manchester, Utrecht University and King’s College London. I am also keenly interested in interdisciplinary education in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), and am collaborating on a new PPE textbook that will offer an integrated approach to interdisciplinary research.
I am currently active in supervising PhD scholars and would be very interested in taking on new PhD students. My department also has opportunities for funded places in its PhD programme. If you are interested in starting a PhD project within my broad areas of expertise, please feel free to get in touch.
