For the academic year 2024-2025, I am based in Berlin as a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin), where I have visiting affiliations with the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Hertie School.
I am especially interested in the political philosophy of G.W.F Hegel, in the social and political thought of Karl Marx, and in theoretical connections between those two authors. I often supervise doctoral students sharing those interests in Marx and Hegel. My recent research publications in this area include critical engagement with Marx’s views on human flourishing (which have affinities with modern capabilities approaches), and work on contemporary Analytical Marxism.
