I try to present my research for a broader audience both within and outside of academia.
My work with Ben Goldsmith on the cult-like support of Donald Trump has attracted much attention in the media. Ben and I have been interviewed about our project by the New York Times.
I have also talked to FM4, one of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ORF) radio channels, about this project in relation to their coverage of the 2024 US presidential election. I also wrote a short piece for Rudolphina, the University of Vienna’s research magazine, which you can read here (and the German version here).
Ben and I also wrote an article on Trump support for the popular-science magazine Scientific American, which goes out to around 10 million readers globally. You can read our piece here. It was also reprinted in the Australian National University’s research magazine ANU Reporter.
I have also been very glad to contribute two articles to New Work in Philosophy, which is a website that presents recent publications in philosophy in a brief and accessible way. I have written a piece on my book, The Republican Dilemma, there, as well as one on the moral responsibility of groups and corporations.
Back in my days as an undergraduate student, I wrote a paper for a Norwegian think tank on the extent to which parents have a right to decide whether or not to vaccinate their children. This is an interesting issue concerning vaccination as a personal good to the child as well as a contribution to the public good of herd immunity.
That same year, I also wrote a piece for the New Zealand Law Association’s website, Law News, on a symposium I attended at the University of Auckland on transitional justice.
