Welcome to KFG Fellow Benjamin Thomas
03.10.2023
We are glad to welcome our Junior Fellow Dr. Benjamin Thomas at the KFG.
Benjamin Thomas is a scholar of political ideologies working at the intersections of political theory, political ideas, discourse theory, and ideational, political, and neoliberal histories. Prior to his fellowship at the KFG, he completed a PhD at the University of Nottingham, examining how political ideologies transform by looking domestically, comparatively, and transnationally at the “neoliberalization” of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) between 1945 and 1949 and the UK's Conservative Party in the 1970s. His work emphasizes the implications of the social construction of an ideology in an ideological community for its form, the positive justifications made for neoliberalisms with center-right ideologies, and the transnational flows of ideas in the center-right.
