I am a second-year MPhil in Political Theory at Oxford, funded by a Rhodes Scholarship (Pakistan & Balliol 2024). My research examines the intersections of labour, gender, and political theory in colonial and 'post'-colonial South Asia, with particular attention to housework, caste, and kinship, and the conceptual distinction between productive and reproductive labour.

Lukas Seibert is a DPhil (PhD) candidate in Politics at the Department of Politics and International Relations. In his doctoral thesis, he investigates how transparency regulations affect legislators' extra-parliamentary activities and how remunerated side jobs influence their behaviour within parliament. By exploring these dynamics, his work sheds light on broader questions of transparency and accountability in legislative bodies.

Graham Higgins is studying for his DPhil in Politics at St Johns College, Oxford under the supervision of Dr Ranjit Lall. His thesis, “Budget Execution: Examining Congress’ hidden hand in US foreign policy” intends to expose the ways in which Congress has rapidly expanded its power over the President’s foreign policy agenda via its suite of oversight tools.
