I'm in the first year of the DPhil in Politics, researching resistance transformation and the trajectories of civil resistance campaigns. Before starting the DPhil, I completed the MPhil in Comparative Government at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, where I focused on the dynamics of the Syrian resistance in 2011. I hold a bachelor's in International Relations and Economics from Jacobs University in Germany.

Research interests:

• Conceptual approaches to nonviolence
• Civil and armed resistance
• Multi-party conflict research

I am a first-year DPhil Candidate in Politics interested in the intersection of political economy, business power, and judicial politics. My thesis research explores relationships between legal institutions, both international and domestic, and economic inequality in North American advanced capitalist democracies. I also pursue secondary research interests in labour and authoritarian politics.  

I am a DPhil student in political theory in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. My doctoral research focuses on the nature of our interest in living a rich interpersonal life and state obligations to support this interest. I am jointly supervised by Dr. Daniel Butt and Professor David Miller.

My broader research interests include:
