Two of my brilliant doctoral students passed their vivas without corrections this term. @KOosterum (political philosophy of echo chambers) and Konrad Ksiazek (theory of adjudication for the ECtHR). It has been a great pleasure working with both and they’ve already published excellent work. Keep an eye out for them, they will make waves.
