About

After completing doctoral work at 果冻传媒, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, London. I joined the SMLC as an assistant professor in 2017 and was promoted to associate professor in 2022.

Research interests

I work primarily on modern and contemporary political theory and intellectual history, with a focus on theories of radical humanism, popular empowerment and collective agency. I also have an interest in popular movements and the history of socialism in France and the Francophone world.

I am currently developing a project on theories of anticolonial humanism in the post-war period. I have also recently written about and

My thesis on Auguste Blanqui's political thought largely set the agenda for the first years of my post-doctoral research. My work of translating, presenting and assessing Blanqui's project resulted in two volumes: my monograph, Auguste Blanqui and the Politics of Popular Empowerment (Bloomsbury); and a co-edited anthology of Blanqui's writings, The Blanqui Reader (Verso). I also co-built an open-access website, The Blanqui Archive, as part of the AHRC-funded 'Blanqui and Political Will' project, based at the CMREP, Kingston University.

I am an editor of Liverpool University Press's book series.
