Dr Pierre Parrouffe


Pierre Parrouffe is a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster working in contemporary political theory.


I have broad research interests, including theories of emancipation, critical International Relations, radical political theory, and contemporary continental philosophy. My current research focuses on conceptualising emancipatory politics through theology, the ontological interactions of contingency and utopia, and the relationship between ‘the people’, knowledge, and conspiracy theories.
