Dr Maša Mrovlje

Profile

I joined the University of Leeds as a Lecturer in Political Theory in 2023.

I completed my PhD at the University of St Andrews. Before joining Leeds, I worked as an ERC postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Edinburgh and held a Marie-Curie REWIRE fellowship at the University of Vienna.

Research interests

My research interests are located within contemporary political theory, international political theory and the history of political thought. I draw on twentieth-century philosophies of existence, feminist and anticolonial theory to conceptualise the complexities and potentials of individual and collective action in conditions of systemic oppression. Within this focus, I have contributed to pressing issues of political judgement, memory politics, transitional justice, political violence and, most recently, resistance. My current project explores the political potentials of disappointment within the modern revolutionary tradition.
