It was a great experience to be at the University of Freiburg to discuss “The Significance of the Cambridge School for Contemporary Political Theory”. Three generations of Cambridge scholars debating with many great colleagues from all over the world about new exciting directions in the field

A very busy year with special guests at Homerton such as Reverend Al Sharpton, Diana Abbott, and Armando Iannucci; incredible conversations with great colleagues…and finally holding my new book in my hands. My students filled with energy and sparks this very intense 2024 and I am so very thankful.

Amazing evening yesterday at LSE for the IHR Political Thought seminar. A conversation between me and Richard Bourke on the state of the scholarship about Hegel and the Hegelian traditions of Political Thought…a contextual turn in Hegel studies seems on the way! Great questions and audience!

What could be better to celebrate #internationalwomensday than a lecture to undergrad on Women’s emancipation in Europe and a Mediterranean Research Cluster with amazing female scholars discussing women in Albanian and Gipsy communities in the Med…I missed the mimosa though😬
