Hammam Aldouri

Hammam Aldouri serves as a Lecturer in Visual Studies. He earned his PhD in philosophy from the Center for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, London.

His research centers on Continental philosophy and critical theory of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with specialized focus on G.W.F. Hegel's philosophy and its intellectual legacies. He investigates theoretical intersections across philosophy, political theory, and art history through the works of Hegel, Karl Marx, Charles Baudelaire, Richard Wagner, and Edouard Manet. Current projects examine the concept of critique in contemporary academia and the implications of capital's real subsumption of academic labor on critical reading practices.
