DPhil Politics

I’m a DPhil student in political theory. My project focuses on the relationship between ecological breakdown and US empire, sitting at the intersection of intellectual history, political theory, and international relations.

Additional research interests include the history of anti-colonialism, Irish political and intellectual history, and contemporary debates within Marxism and social theory about the 'Anthropocene’.

Before coming to Oxford, I received an MPhil in World History (2020) and a BA in History (2019) from the University of Cambridge, where I was awarded the István Hont prize for my thesis on the political thought of James Connolly.
