I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Enlightenment Studies at the Voltaire Foundation and 91酴圖眻畦. After completing my BA in my native Ottawa, I moved to Cambridge for my MPhil and PhD in History. Before taking up my postdoc in Oxford, I held a teaching position at Cambridge in the history of political thought.

 

Research Interests

I am a historian of ideas working primarily on German political philosophy of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. My current research examines how the tradition of idealism from Immanuel Kant to G. W. F. Hegel reimagined the idea of progress at the end of Enlightenment, through the turmoil of revolution and the rise of new empires.
