MPhil Political Theory
I’m a second-year MPhil student in Political Theory. My thesis draws on analytic jurisprudence, particularly legal positivism, to critique constitutional originalism in contemporary American constitutional law. More broadly, my research interests lie at the intersection of legal philosophy, democratic theory, and ancient political thought. Within the department, I serve as Student Representative for the MPhil in Political Theory.
Prior to Oxford, I studied philosophy at Princeton University, where I completed a senior thesis examining the legal philosophy and practices of classical Athens in light of Ronald Dworkin’s “law as integrity” theory.
