doctoral dissertation
In December 2018, I defended my PhD dissertation on the Czech philosopher and human rights activist, Jan Patočka, receiving a grade of summa cum laude. The title of my thesis was A Ship Bound to Shipwreck. Jan Patočka’s Philosophy of History. I am currently preparing the manuscript for eventual publication as a book, but do get in touch if you’re interested in reading it before then.
As part of the ERC project on the First World War, I also published this short blog about Theosophy and WWI
