Eero Arum
My research examines the conceptual history of sovereignty, the theory of executive power, and political theology across late medieval, Renaissance, early modern, and modern political thought. I have published on authors such as Aristotle, Niccolò Machiavelli, Jean Bodin, and Thomas Hobbes in American Political Science Review, Political Theory, History of Political Thought, The Review of Politics, and The Cambridge History of Democracy, Vol. 2: The Middle Ages and Early Modern Period (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming).
I am currently based in New York City. During the 2026–2027 academic year, I will be a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Political Theory at Princeton University. In August 2027, I will join UT Austin's Civitas Institute as Assistant Professor of Humanities.
