Biography

Magnus Møller Ziegler is an Assistant Lecturer at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Political Science. He holds an MA in Philosophy from the University of Copenhagen, earned in 2016, and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Philosophy with a focus on Intellectual History at Aarhus University. His academic journey includes a visiting graduate student position at the University of Oxford in 2019 and a role as a Ph.D. Fellow at Aarhus University from 2017 to 2020. Ziegler's research primarily examines political thought, particularly the German Vormärz period and its intellectual discourses. He is actively writing his Ph.D. dissertation, which explores the Young Hegelian continuities in Karl Marx's 'Capital'. His teaching interests for Spring 2024 include a course titled 'Marx in the 21st Century' and he supervises undergraduate projects in political theory and methodology. His past experiences and collaborations reflect a strong focus on the intersections of politics, philosophy, and social theory, integrating ideas from figures like Hegel and Marx into modern discussions on constitutionalism and press freedom.
