Informed by aesthetic theory and philosophy of language, my research seeks to answer the questions “Who gets a say in politics and why?” and “Which voices are listened to and how?” I write about these questions primarily by putting canonical works in the history of political thought into dialogue with works of literature. I also maintain research interests in the manifestations of these questions in contemporary social protest, activism, and political resistance with a regional focus on Europe (Germany, France, and Greece).
