I'm a historian of political thought and political theorist. I work on historical and contemporary debates about democracy and liberalism. My research interests include popular power, political institutions, public opinion, and empire.
My first monograph, The People's Two Powers: Public Opinion and Popular Sovereignty from Rousseau to Liberal Democracy, is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press in the 'Ideas in Context' series. My next project is a history of propaganda and democracy from the 1890s to the 1960s.
In 2024, I joined the Centre de Théorie Politique at the Université Libre de Bruxelles as an FNRS chargé de recherches. Previously, I held a British Academy fellowship at KCL, taught at Brown and Yale, and earned my PhD from the University of Cambridge. My research has been published or is forthcoming in journals such as Political Theory, Political Studies, and Journal of Politics.
