Ioannis D. Evrigenis is the Alice Tweed Tuohy Professor of Government and Ethics at Claremont McKenna College and an Affiliate at the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University. He directs the Bodin@CMC project for a new critical edition of Jean Bodin's Six Books on the Commonwealth, building on his previously NEH-funded Bodin@Tufts initiative.
His academic credentials include a PhD and AM from Harvard University (2005, 2002), an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science (1994), and a BA from Grinnell College (1993), with his doctoral dissertation receiving the Herrnstein Prize.
Specializing in political theory, Evrigenis examines ancient and early modern political thought through figures like Plato, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Bodin, with research spanning social contract theory, state of nature concepts, and digital humanities applications. His monographs Fear of Enemies and Collective Action (2008) and Images of Anarchy (2014) established foundational analyses of Hobbesian theory, while his digital humanities work bridges computational methods with historical political analysis.
His scholarly impact is recognized through the Herrnstein Prize, 2009 Delba Winthrop Award, 2016 RSA-TCP Article Prize, and Harvard's five Certificates of Distinction in Teaching.
Evrigenis has secured major research funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, American Philosophical Society, Onassis Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation, Earhart Foundation, and Fulbright program, supporting his Bodin editorial projects and interdisciplinary scholarship.
He pioneers digital approaches in political theory through the Bodin@CMC project, fostering collaboration between computational analysis and historical textual scholarship to advance Renaissance political thought studies.
