About
My thesis, entitled «Methods of Interpretation and their Significance for Political Theory», seeks to offer political theorists a toolkit that enables them to interrogate their methodological assumptions and to decode their ideological commitments. Prior to coming to Oxford, I studied Philosophy, Politics, and Sociology at RWTH Aachen University, Germany and at Queen Mary, University of London, and I was awarded an MSc in Political Theory from the London School of Economics.
My research interests lie at the crossroads of history, philosophy, and politics. More precisely, historical, normative and social-scientific approaches to political theorizing (particularly theories that aim to bridge ‘analytical’ and ‘continental’ political theory); Hermeneutics; Rhetoric and criticism; Philosophy of History; Democratic Theory (Deliberative Democracy, Agonistic Pluralism); Contract Theory (Hobbes, Rousseau); the relationship between ideology and language; Liberalism and its discontents.
Having worked as a private tutor for twelve years, my teaching at university level involved a weekly Introduction to Political Science seminar and one-to-one tutorials in Political Theory.
