My PhD project examines political polarization through an Arendtian lens. Despite extensive empirical study, polarization has received limited engagement within political theory. I argue that the concept requires further theoretical clarification in order to understand the contemporary crisis of democracy. Accordingly, I introduce a new concept, which I call reflexive polarization, and argue that Hannah Arendt offers crucial resources for understanding this particular form of polarization.
I am part of a team of four doing the lectures in Social and Political Philosophy. I lecture in the public realm; recognition and identity politics; gender and anti-gender ideology; and intersectional and black feminism. In these lectures I discus the ideas from thinkers such as Arendt, Habermas, Fraser, Taylor, Young, Butler, Vergès, and hooks.
I am part of two research groups. The first is APG (Aarhus Phenomenology Group), and the second is ASOG (Aarhus Social Ontology Group):
