Area of Research

Admission Requirements

PhD degree in Philosophy, Political Theory, or Political Science

The grant holder will tackle issues of intergenerational justice in democratic environments or analyse key concepts of modern democratic theory, mostly by testing whether their time horizons can expand in order to encompass the distant future.
