Biography

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow, currently working on the project Gender and Intersectionality in the History of Political Thought: The Cases of Mary Hays and George Wallace.

I am the author of Anticlerical Legacies: The Deistic Reception of Thomas Hobbes, c. 1670–1740 (Manchester University Press, 2024; paperback 2026) and serve as Associate Editor of the journal Hobbes Studies.

My areas of specialisation cover the history of political thought, intellectual history, political theory, and reception studies.

My research interests include Thomas Hobbes; British deism, freethinking, and anticlericalism; early British feminism and abolitionism; Enlightenment and utopia; and the politics of the Eurovision Song Contest.
