Assistant Professor of Political Science , Dublin City University I am a political theorist who draws on early modern philosophy (mostly enlightenment thinkers such as Mary Wollstonecraft and David Hume) to illuminate contemporary problems concerning the politics of humour, ridicule, and the regulation of public speech. More recently I have developed research interests in intergenerational justice and the history of abolition. I have a BA in politics and philosophy from University College Dublin (2003), a Msc in International Relations from the London School of Economics (2004), and a PhD in Political Science from Northwestern University in Illinois (2013). I was a Fulbright scholar in 2005-6 and from 2009 to 2012 I served as Assistant Editor of Political Theory: an International Journal of Political Philosophy.
