I am an associate professor of political science at McGill University in Montreal, and I specialize in political theory and the history of political thought.
My research is concerned with theoretical and historical questions concerning power, violence and socio-political order. I study how power and violence have been conceptualized, represented, and problematized in the history of political ideas and in public discourse and how social order is imagined and theorized.
My teaching encompasses the history of social and political theory (early modern and modern) as well as contemporary social and political theory. I have research interests in critical theory, the history of Marxism, the New Left, radical political thought, as well as problems of interpretation.
