I am a Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Amsterdam and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Gerda Henkel Foundation. My research stands at the intersection of political theory, intellectual history, and philosophy with a particular emphasis on the concept of ecology in the history of political thought. I studied philosophy, political science, law, and intellectual history in New York City, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Cambridge. My dissertation, Becoming Environmental: Murray Bookchin in the Postwar Era, explored the emergence and proliferation of environmentalism in the postwar era through a new reading of the early work of the American political theorist Murray Bookchin (1921-2006). For this project, I conducted archival research at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, the Tamiment Library of New York University, and the Columbia University Library Archives. I work on several other projects concerning energy, oligarchy, and conceptual history.
