Eric Brandom

Eric Brandom is a Visiting Assistant Professor in History at Kansas State University and Associate Managing Editor of Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains. He teaches modern Western Civilization, Caribbean history, and European intellectual history courses.

His research examines modern European intellectual history, particularly political and social thought in France around 1900. Brandom's monograph-in-progress 'Autonomy and Violence' analyzes Georges Sorel's confrontation with liberal democracy. Additional interests include labor history, Black Atlantic studies, and Enlightenment philosophy.

Publications explore Sorel's reinterpretations of Vico, anti-dialectical Marxism, and Aimé Césaire's engagement with civic humanism. His work connects intellectual histories across Europe and the Caribbean.
