Dr Hugo Bonin

Profile

After completing my PhD in political science at Université Paris VIII, I joined QMUL in October 2020 to work on a transnational history of "liberal democracy" in Canada, France and the United Kingdom during the 20th century. I'm more broadly interested in the history of political thought, democratic theory and modern British, Canadian and French politics. When I'm not standing on the shoulders of giants, I like to climb actual mountains to get a better view of my surroundings.
