I am a DPhil student in political theory in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. My doctoral research focuses on the nature of our interest in living a rich interpersonal life and state obligations to support this interest. I am jointly supervised by Dr. Daniel Butt and Professor David Miller.

My broader research interests include:

Christopher is a second year DPhil (PhD) candidate in International Relations and all-but-dissertation, completing all coursework at distinction. Under the supervision of Professor Dominic Johnson, his thesis explores the micro-foundations of political violence, from terrorism to civil war, as rooted in predictable evolutionary-adaptive biases.
