Hello, I’m Dan and I’m a Lecturer in Social and Political Thought at the Open University. I’ve published three books about politics and political ideas. In 2023 I was chosen as a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker.

I like to talk to people about politics and places. I’ve been lucky enough to get to research and now teach and talk about my passions. This little website collects a few of those things together in one place.

Click the lines beside the header to take a look around. The blog is a record of recent work. Publications puts my work all in one place. Books, you can guess. Teaching is where I’ve uploaded past lectures and ideas for some of the many courses in philosophy, history and politics I have taught. You can also subscribe through the menu below.
