I am a first-year MPhil Political Theory candidate, researching early modern political thought. My research explores the political philosophy of Francis Bacon, how his epistemological thought shapes his political theory, and the development of his political thought alongside his political career. Generally, my research interests include the history of political philosophy, both ancient and modern, and contemporary critical theory.
Prior to Oxford, I graduated with an honours in Great Books, and a major in Political Science from St. Thomas University in Fredericton, Canada. There, I completed an undergraduate thesis exploring Bacon's account of "philanthropia" as an answer to the incommensurability of philosophy and politics in Plato's Republic.
