About
Dimitrios Halikias is a Perkins-Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society of Fellows and a Lecturer in the Council of the Humanities, Politics, and Humanistic Studies at Princeton University. His research focuses on political philosophy and the reinterpretation of medieval feudalism in 19th-century critiques of liberalism and capitalism. He examines how feudalism shifted from a symbol of tyranny to a counterpoint for analyzing modern power structures like public opinion, market economies, and bureaucratic governance.
Halikias holds a B.A. in Ethics, Politics, and Economics from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University. His research has been supported by the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics and the Center for American Political Studies. He explores additional themes such as the nature of political will, depoliticization, and the intellectual foundations of the American progressive movement.
