Assistant Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences
Blake Ewing joined the School as an Assistant Professor in January 2024, following a number of post-doctorate positions at the University of Oxford, including a Smithsonian Junior Research Fellowship at Pembroke College, Oxford from 2019-2021. He received his PhD (DPhil) in Political Theory in 2018 from the University of Oxford. He holds an MSc in political theory from the London School of Economics and a BA from Colorado College, majoring in political science.
Before returning to academia to pursue a doctorate, he worked at the World Bank and as a journalist, writing mainly for The Economist.
My main interest is in the politics of time and temporality. I am involved with two current interdisciplinary projects funded by the British Academy -- Wetland Times and Anthropocene (A)syncronicities -- that address issues of (possible) temporal tension and dislocation between 'political times', on one hand, and the time pressures and horizons of various environmental and 'planetary' issues, on the other.
