I am interested in why social class matters for political theory. What different classes exist, what relations exist between them, and why might it matter? I am currently writing a thesis entitled "Do Laboring Classes Exploit Each Other?," which seeks to elaborate potentially exploitative and dominating relations among workers. Prior to studying at Oxford, I received my BA from Harvard University in Government in 2023.
