I am a DPhil student in politics working on questions in political economy at the Department of Politics and International Relations. I am a member of Nuffield College. I am interested in the institutional persistence of extreme economic inequality, especially state capture by interest groups, with a regional focus on Latin America.

I am a DPhil in Political Theory at Corpus Christi College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford.

My work sits at the crossroads of intellectual history, black critical theory and aesthetics. I am particularly interested in the relationship between artistic expression and political pragmatism. Amongst other things, I am also interested in political theory that deals with questions of time, fate and memory.

I joined Oxford as an MPhil student of European Politics and Society in 2023. Before this, I studied Philosophy, Economics and Protestant Theology at the Universities of Bayreuth and Heidelberg, Germany, and the University of Granada, Spain.

My research primarily focuses on climate policy, political economy, and monetary policy.
