I have been in the Department of International Politics since 2009, since 2013 as permanent member of staff. My research and teaching span across Political Theory, International Relations and Security Studies. I'm keen to speak to both Politics and IR, ideally facilitating a conversation between the two. I'm especially interested in (international) political theory that is normatively oriented, with a global outlook, yet grounded in actual political histories. This also feeds into my interest in ethical, societal and normative aspects of security politics, human rights, liberalism and internationalism. My method utilises history of ideas and I specialise in the 20th century European and American political thought. A number of my optional (UG and PG) modules are research-led, but I also enjoy teaching (UG and PG) core modules, taking pride in successfully delivering ‘theory content’ also to students who are more empirically minded.
I'm a member of the editorial board of Society (Springer), after I had been an Associate Editor of the journal International Relations (Sage) for five years. I have acted as peer reviewer for most major Politics and IR journals and publishers, as well as a referee for UKRI.
In 2024-25 I am a member of the departmental Recruitment, Admissions and Marketing team, working in the role of Schools Liaison Officer.

My research lies at the intersection of International Relations Theory, Political Theory and Security Studies. While topically diverse, my research gravitates to two theoretical foci: 1) Emergence of normative knowledge out of reflected social practices and 2) The role of politics and political values in pacifying conflict and transitioning out of security-induced emergency politics. I have been pursuing these interests via the study of past political thinkers, most notably Judith N. Shklar, Hannah Arendt, Hans Morgenthau, Stanley Hoffmann and Raymond Aron, understanding their ideas in their original contexts and in the context of present day.
