Biography

Paul Apostolidis is a professor at the London School of Economics specializing in critical theory that integrates empirical inquiry methods and political theory. His research primarily examines capitalism and racial domination through fieldwork with Latinx migrant workers’ organizations in the western United States. He focuses on precarious work and life, popular education, and the possibility of deeper democracy and social solidarity, engaging with various 20th and 21st-century thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault. Apostolidis has authored and edited several important works, contributing to discussions on culture, politics, and social justice. He is involved in civic engagement initiatives and teaches courses focused on contemporary political theory and multiculturalism.
