I’m a political theorist and historian of political thought interested in modern ideas about freedom and domination and their global intellectual histories, and in how these histories and ideas inform contemporary practices of resistance.
I’m currently writing about the history, theory, and practice of anticolonial solidarity. This aspect of my recent work is grounded in the global history of anticolonial political thought and engaged with current theoretical debates about solidarity across the global North and South.
My first book, Rousseau’s Politics of Taste, is forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press.
