My work on justice, solidarity, trust, European integration, and the governance of AI and digital technologies engages questions that matter beyond the academy. I aim to bring these ideas into broader public conversation — through talks for general audiences, contributions to media, and other formats. Occasionally, more idiosyncratic interests make an appearance too. Below is a selection of recent public-facing work. If you are interested in a talk, interview, or commentary, I welcome you to get in touch.
