some of my interests:
Global Civil Society/Alter-Globalisation – The theory and practice of transformative movements; social forums; Deleuze, Guattari and rhizomatic politics; social movements; indigeneity and the anthropology of stateless societies.
Contemporary Political Theory and Global Politics – theories/critics of totalitarianism/modernity/postmodernity; concepts of democracy/representation/difference/identity. The idea of ‘development’; theories of ‘Global Justice’.
‘Critical Theories’ – Neo and Post-Marxisms; the work of the Budapest School; Castoriadis; Laclau & Mouffe; Zizek. French thought after 1968; Postcolonial theory (Spivak, Bhabha, Wittgenstein); critical pedagogy and education (‘global citizenship’; ‘global dimension in HE’/the RAE etc.)
My current research projects are:
1. Not in my Name - the crisis of representation and what it means for democracy.
2. Decolonising Politics - what are the implications of a thorough postcolonial critique for rethinking the aims and ambitions of political theory, i.e. global justice?
