Jack is a Research Associate at the Wales Centre for Public Policy, who joined the team in July 2019.
He is working on a PhD in Philosophy on the social and political thought of Theodor W. Adorno, arguing that Adorno’s critical theory can inform contemporary social critique and help motivate and justify political action. He is interested in the intersection of political philosophy with public policy; social and economic change; and reconciling economic justice with sustainability. He holds a BA(Hons) in History of Ideas and Philosophy and an MA in Analytic and Modern European Philosophy, both from Cardiff University. Jack is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and has worked in Welsh Government.
