Research

My primary research interest is in contemporary philosophy with a focus on the philosophy of information, psychoanalysis, and political communication.

My current work explores the manuscripts of Alexandre Kojève and their ideological translations in Western and Eastern (philosophical) thought around the notions of authority, legality, and power. Past projects include studies on spatial ordering after the end of history, theology after modern physics, the aesthetics of visual vacancy in film and contemporary art, and the role of women's travel writings in shaping modernist projects of transnational cultural governance

Current PhD supervision includes projects in progress on the semiotics of social media, the metaphysics of Palestinian cinema, the algorithm of authority, and manifestations of the ordinary psychosis in AI and new media technologies   

I welcome PhD proposals related or relevant to my areas of specialism.
