Personal profile

Research

I hold a PhD in sociology and my dissertation, entitled Interpreting the Haitian Revolution: From the Rights of man to Human Rights, was completed in 2022. Since the spring 2023, I have been employed as a postdoctoral researcher in Human Rights studies, and affiliated with Sophiapol (Sociologie, Philosophie et Anthropologie Politique) at Université Paris Nanterre. My current project involves an archival study of the most important "movement texts" of the Haitian Revolution, which serve as a basis for an intervention into ongoing debates about whether this revolution should be granted a central status in the history of human rights. 

My research interests include marxist as well as non-marxist critique of right, the history and contemporary status of human rights, Marxist theory, social movements, revolution theory, and methodological issues relating to ideoogy critique. I have taught sociology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, supervised bachelor's theses, and have also taught at the masterprogram in psychology and at the teacher education programs, as well as providing instruction on the history and theory of science to students in the natural sciences.

I am a member of the editorial board for the journal Röda rummet.
