Thesis Title: The Role of Executive Powers in Deliberative Democracy
About
I am currently a PhD candidate in political philosophy and graduate teaching assistant in the department of Politics at the University of York. My thesis aims to explore the potential roles of executive power in deliberative theories of democracy, with special reference to deliberative rhetoric, political leadership, policy expertise, and the role of the modern state.
My primary research interests lie in political philosophy and the history of political thought, including contemporary democratic theory, ancient and early-modern political thought (particularly Thucydides, Aristotle and Thomas More), and debates regarding political realism. Other areas of competence and interest include the philosophy of economics and the history of economic thought, bioethics, and the history and philosophy of science.
