Carl Max Moog

Having joined the University of Oxford and DPIR as a student reading for an MPhil in Politics (European Politics & Society) at the beginning of Michaelmas Term 2023, I am currently researching Euroscepticism and its effects on vote choice under the supervision of Tarik Abou-Chadi. More broadly, I am interested in political behaviour, elections and political trust across Europe.

Prior to my studies at Oxford, I was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Politics by the Department of Government at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

I'm a second-year MPhil candidate in Politics (Political Theory) at the DPIR, with a focus on silencing and self-censorship within debates on free speech and analytic feminist thought. More broadly, my interests extend to conceptual engineering, (un)civil disobedience, and political epistemology.

Before coming to Oxford, I graduated with a first-class BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick.
