Professor Jeremy Jennings
My research interests are primarily in the field of the history of political thought, with special reference to France. I have, in addition, published work on the role of intellectuals in politics and on contemporary political theory and ideologies.
I have recently published an edition of Destutt de Tracy's Principles of Political Economy and am presently writing a book entitled Travels with Tocqueville. With Michael Moriarty I am also acting as joint editor of the Cambridge History of French Thought.
I was founding editor of the European Journal of Political Theory and was formerly an editor of the British Journal of Politics and International Relations.
I have held visiting positions at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris), the Columbia University Institute for Scholars (Paris) and the Institute for Advanced Study, Indiana University, Bloomington. From January-June 2006 I held the Vincent Wright Chair at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques in Paris.
I regularly write for the Times Literary Supplement, the Times Higher Education Supplement and the monthly magazine Standpoint.
I would be happy to supervise doctoral students in the fields of:
- the history of political thought
- political ideologies
- contemporary political theory
