About

I'm a political theorist at Newcastle University.

 

Before coming to Newcastle I was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University's Center for Ethics and studied in Oxford, Frankfurt and Toronto.

My main research interest is in democratic theory; I interpret and evaluate novel forms of representation and participation.

I also work on the history of political thought and comparative political theory.
