I write and teach in the areas of political theory and the history of political thought, with particular interests in the intersection of democracy and empire in Anglo-American thought, and contests over the meaning of race since 1800.
My doctoral project examines how British socialists and progressives between 1885 and 1914 theorised the relationship between democracy, empire, and race. It traces how the perceived emergence of democracy in the 1880s transformed how empire was imagined and contested, while also prompting a set of now-forgotten critiques of white racial prejudice and racial domination. My work has been published in Political Theory and the European Journal of Political Theory. I hold an MPhil from the University of Cambridge and a BA from the University of Oxford.
