I am an Assistant Professor in Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. I was previously The Queen's Scholar of the Middle Temple, where I was called to the Bar of England and Wales, and Departmental Lecturer in the Philosophy of Social Science at the University of Oxford, teaching at Lincoln College and the Blavatnik School of Government. I have studied for my Doctorate in Political Theory at New College​, University of Oxford.

​My research addresses broad questions of legitimacy, legality, coercion, and authority. I am working on a book project tentatively entitled 'Law's Political Reality'. Besides my academic work, I have been active with the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, the Al-Haq Center for Applied International Law in Ramallah, and the Balfour Peace Advocacy Project in London as an Associate Fellow.
