Research interests

My research lies at the intersection of politics and education, and I am particularly interested in the theory and practice of higher education teaching and learning. This includes research on anarchism, critical pedagogy, resistance, and political theory.

I am currently working on a project exploring possible post-anarchist contributions to higher education.

Teaching

I am currently responsible for the design and teaching of two modules, and assist in the teaching of two others:

Winter Semester:

• Freedom and the Transformation of Modern Europe (Lead)
• Ways of Knowing (Assist)

Summer Semester:

• Analysing Contemporary Societies (Lead)
• Collaborative Research Practice (Assist)

I have also taught a range of differnet modules across politics and education.
