Research Interests

My main research interests lie in contemporary political theory. More specifically, my research mainly concerns John Rawls’s political liberalism, religion and political theory and the normative dimensions of partisanship. I am also interested in multiculturalism and language rights and in theories of political obligation. My secondary research interests include food policy and political theory, free speech and phenomenology.
