MPhil Political Theory

During my MPhil in political theory, I plan to focus my research on the intersection of democratic theory and political epistemology. In other words, I hope to explore the most pressing epistemic questions in democratic life. I am particularly curious about the role of truth in democracy and intend to develop theoretical insights into the widely shared sense of urgency over the way that lies and misinformation are corroding public life today. Before coming to Oxford, I graduated from Columbia University, where I completed a double major in philosophy and political science. 

Research Interests:

  • Democratic theory
  • Political epistemology
  • Feminist theory
