Through a critical analysis of Laclau and Mouffe’s theoretical works as well as the political discourse of the Örebro Party, my dissertation examines how left-wing populist thought is transformed as it breaks with the political left.

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.
