Throughout my thesis I seek to elucidate and critique the development of contemporary left-populist thought with a special focus on the theory of populism developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe.

Background

BA in Politics with International Relations from the University of York, England 2016
MA in International Political Economy from the University of York, England 2018

Area of interest

Beyond my interest in contemporary left-populist thought, I'm also interested in critical theory (especially "the New Reading of Marx") and more generally political economy.
