BIO

Tobias is an Affiliated Lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) and College Research Associate at King's College, University of Cambridge. Tobias is a post-doctoral researcher at the EU funded Horizon 2020 project DRIVE at Leiden University and was principal researcher of SORGES, a project on religion, gender, and the state at the Woolf Institute and the University of Cambridge. He is interested in political and social theory, postcolonial and feminist theory, secularism and religion, and the politics of the climate emergency. With a preference for ethnographic methods, he examines how different groups challenge political institutions and how contemporary states respond to these challenges.

At THE NEW INSTITUTE Tobias is working on themes related to “The Future of Democracy".

QUOTE

“The climate debate is often centered around the idea of the Anthropocene – the industrial age and the incredible impact of humans on the planet. But before that, there was colonialism – which meant genocide, slavery, and the complete transformation of ecosystems.“
