DPhil Political Theory, 2023

My DPhil is an evaluation of the claims of the ‘postliberal’ movement, which believes liberalism has become oppressive to individuals holding traditional personal values. As such, my research engages with both liberal and conservative political thought and the role of religion in politics. I have organised a seminar series on Islam and liberalism, and I co-convene the Oxford Conservative Thought Reading Group.

Outside academia, I am the Head of Domestic Policy at the think tank Pickthall House (https://pickthallhouse.org/), and I also run an online education business.
