Title of Disciplinary Research Field: Contemporary political theory

Title of sub-fields in which you are active: politics of recognition, republicanism, critical theory, political theory

I am interested in theories of dignity, freedom, social and political equality, and toleration and civility. My work focuses on the connections between ideas of social recognition, social and political freedom. I am currently working on the role of republican ideas in an expanded account of modern social and political freedom which will draw on themes in the work of both Axel Honneth and Philip Pettit, among others.

Names of HAPP colleagues working in these sub-fields and related projects : Keith Breen, Fabian Schuppert
