Summary of research interests and expertise

• Intellectual History  
• History of Political Thought 
• Contemporary Philosophy 
• Cybernetics  

My research centres on the intellectual history of 20th-century France, with particular focus on the post-war period and the intersection between philosophy and science. My current research looks at the reception of cybernetics and information theory, and I continue to pursue work on themes surrounding the subject of my doctoral thesis on Derrida and phenomenology, including a forthcoming article on Derrida’s reading of Leibniz. I have an on-going interest in the epistemological foundations of modern politics and its shaping by paradigms of order and control drawn from the biological and technological domains.
