Chair of Social and Political Philosophy
I am Professor of Social and Political Philosophy and have been a member of the department since 2018. Prior to joining the University of Bayreuth, I was Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the London School of Economics (2013-2015) and Junior Professor in Political Philosophy at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2015-2018). I studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (BA, 2005) and Political Theory (MPhil, 2007) at the University of Oxford, Public Policy (MPP, 2012) at Harvard University and obtained my doctorate in Philosophy (PhD, 2011) from University College London. My academic interests are in social and political philosophy, with a particular focus on topics at the intersection of philosophy, politics and economics, as well as on the tradition of Marxism. My current book project is provisionally entitled “Karl Marx’s Theory of Action: A Defence”.
