Peter is pursuing a DPhil in Politics in the Department of Politics and International Relations, which is generously funded by an Oxford-Foster Scholarship at Mansfield College. His interests range from the history of political thought to contemporary political theory, but he is especially interested in how twentieth-century political philosophers (particularly John Rawls) critically engaged with the history of their discipline to inform their normative work.
Before Oxford, Peter completed an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History at the University of Cambridge. His thesis explored the influence of early modern philosophy on Rawls’s political thought and was deposited in the Seeley Library at the recommendation of the Exam Board. He graduated in 2025 with distinction. Before that, he completed a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of York, graduating with first-class honours (with distinction) in 2024.Â
