He has done research and published widely on questions of difference, pluralism, power, identity, and knowledge, and he has drawn on ideas in contemporary thought in order to stage a re-engagement with both central and marginal figures in ancient, early Christian, and medieval philosophy. He received his Ph.D. from Essex University publishing his dissertation on 'Genealogies of Difference'.

He has also produced two major studies, Genealogies of Difference (University of Illinois Press, 2002) and Reflections on Time and Politics (Penn State University Press, 2008) and is currently working on Political Theory after Deleuze for Continuum Press.

His work on Foucault and Power remains one of the most accessed articles in the European Journal of Political Theory over 6 years since it was published.^[1]
