His research is located at the intersection of critical theory, conceptual history, political sociology, and socio-legal studies, with a thematic focus on social crises and normative conflicts, relations between neoliberalism and law, legal imaginaries and juridical cultures, and sociology of democracy and constitutions. Currently, he is working on three lines of research: (i) the political imagination of law and normative futures, (ii) narrative democracy and the moral economy of polarization, and (iii) public order and the sociolegal life of digital platforms, guns, and fences in the city.

‘The fact that man lives in a conceptually structured environment does not prove that he has turned away from life, or that a historical drama has separated him from it — [but] just that he lives in a certain way, that he has a relationship with his environment such that he had no set point of view toward it…. Forming concepts is a way of living and not a way to immobilize life; it is a way to live in a relative mobility …’
—Michel Foucault
