Trosolwg
My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from a variety of fields such as modern intellectual history, political philosophy, macroeconomics and theoretical psychoanalysis. My recent research in States of Crisis and Postcapitalist Scenarios (Ashgate 2014, with Slavoj Žižek and Fabio Vighi) and Critical Theory and the Crisis of Contemporary of Capitalism (Bloomsbury 2015, with Fabio Vighi) focussed on the causes and consequences of the global economic crisis. I currently work on the project ‘The Meaning of 1989’ which questions the prevalent understanding of the historical demise of communism as a triumph of the values of free market capitalism and liberal democracy and explores ‘1989’ as the first act of a much larger crisis, the latest phase of which we have entered in 2008.
As a general editor of Bloomsbury’s Writing History series on historiography and historical theory and co-director of the Cardiff Centre for Ideology Critique and Žižek Studies, I warmly welcome enquiries about doctoral and post-doctoral research on modern German history, the critique of ideology and political economy, and the works of Marx, Foucault and Žižek.
Bywgraffiad
I came to Cardiff in 1997 from the University of Halle-Wittenberg where I was a research fellow at the Marx-Engels Centre MEGA and a lecturer in the departments of history and political economy. I am currently Director of Teaching & Learning in the School of Modern Languages and Co-director of the Centre for Ideology Critique and Žižek Studies.
