I am currently an Assistant Professor at Universidad San Sebastián. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Arizona and a Lecturer in Political Economy at King’s College London. I hold a PhD in political science, specialising in political philosophy, from the London School of Economics. 

My current research focuses on the state, social complexity and bottom-up self-governance. I have papers forthcoming or published in journals such as Economics and Philosophy; Philosophy, Politics and Economics and Constellations. Please click the “Papers” link in the top left hand corner for abstracts and pre-publication copies.

My PhD thesis explored the relationship between freedom and social unity. I concluded that a certain degree of alienation is the price we pay for living in a free society. I believe the modern experience of alienation is well captured in the work of American artist Edward Hopper. The oil painting above - Gas (1940) - is one of his works.
