My first monograph, The People’s Two Powers, traces the history of the distinction between public opinion and popular sovereignty from Rousseau to the invention of liberal democracy in France, and explores its relevance for contemporary debates in democratic theory.

My next project, Propaganda and Democracy: A History, investigates how we came to think about these two notions as stellar opposites in the aftermath of WWII, and what this means for contemporary democratic thought.
