PhD Research
My doctoral thesis presents a critical interpretation of republicanism that highlights the hierarchical structure of the public space, its institutions and political participation; these structures are further linked to the republic's ends of expansion and empire. I describe republicanism as conservative and criticize the predominant Cambridge School egalitarian and participatory understanding of republicanism.
