About

I'm a Hallsworth Fellow in the Department of Politics at the University of Manchester. I received my PhD in Politics from Manchester and have previously held the position of Lecturer/Assistant Professor at both King’s College London and Utrecht University. My research is situated in political theory and economy, and my work has a strong connection to the interdisciplinary tradition of politics, philosophy and economics.     For full list of publications see: https://uu.academia.edu/JonathanBenson Research Focus Democratic Theory: Deliberative and participatory democracy, democratic systems, random sortition, and epistemic justifications of democracy.  Normative Political Economy: The relationship between democracy and the market, the limits of markets, polycentricity, exit and voice.  Political Epistemology: Political knowledge, ignorance and misinformation, and the role of knowledge in political and economic institutions.
