My research sits at the intersection of democratic theory, political realism, and political epistemology. I look at how democratic institutions can remain normatively compelling while addressing the messy realities of power, disagreement, and limited knowledge.

This notebook gathers reading notes, draft arguments, and reflections on contemporary debates. Expect close readings of classic thinkers, engagement with realist critiques of ideal theory, and questions about how citizens and experts share epistemic authority in modern democracies.

If any of these themes resonate with your own work, feel free to reach out — I'm always keen to trade bibliographies or talk through emerging ideas.
