I intend to study normative political economy and theories of legitimacy as part of my MPhil at DPIR. Broadly speaking, I am interested in the relationship between formative contexts (state economic and political systems, systems of ideas, etc.) and formed routines (the practice of day-to-day life, interactions between individuals). What influence does one exert over the other and vice versa? Prior to studying at Oxford, I received my B.A from Harvard University in Government in 2023.
