Biography

Jared Holley is a political theorist and historian of political thought, primarily focused on modern ideas of freedom, domination, and the global intellectual histories that inform contemporary practices of resistance. He is the Co-Director of the Centre for Ethics and Critical Thought (CRITIQUE) and is currently engaged in writing on the history, theory, and practice of anticolonial solidarity. His recent work is grounded in global histories of anticolonial political thought and engages with current theoretical debates surrounding solidarity in the global North and South.
