With my PhD students, November 23, 2018

Prospective PhD Students

I am open to supervising projects
  • with a historical approach to IR and which focus on (some aspect of) the evolution of the international system and the modern state, especially if the focus is on non-Western regions; 
  • focused on the relationship between foreign policy, social status, stigmatisation, ontological security, historical trauma, collective memory etc.; 
  • conceptualising some aspect of hierarchies in world politics;
  • that aim to develop non-Eurocentric genealogies and/or histories of modern concepts such as sovereignty, state, nationalism, terrorism etc.​
Due to the high volume of inquiries I receive (and also for reasons of fairness), I am unable to give specific feedback on pre-submission application materials (including research proposals). If you think your research interests match mine, feel free to name me as a potential supervisor in your application. Prior contact with me has no bearing on the chances of success of your application. I interview all applicants I am considering for PhD supervision, but only after they pass the initial admissions committee screening.
