I am a first-year in the MPhil International Relations program and a member of Lincoln College. My primary research interest is investigating the effects of changes in national identity on countries' diplomatic and defence policies, specifically in the case of the UK in the post-Brexit era; I also maintain broader interests in constructivist structural IR theory and International Political Economy.

Jordan Edwards-Zinger is a current first-year MPhil student in Comparative Government at Brasenose College. Her research interests are grounded in Soviet and post-Soviet authoritarianism, the formal and informal institutions within modern post-Soviet states, and the changing nature of autocratic politics.

I am a first-year Political Theory candidate at Balliol College. Prior to Oxford, I graduated with first-class honours from the LSE, where I focused on German political thought. My thesis, entitled “Conflict and Political Harmony in Kant and Nietzsche” and supervised by Dr Lea Ypi, was awarded the Department of Government Dissertation Prize.
