Tobias Müller

About

Dr Tobias Müller is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, co-funded by the Isaac Newton Trust, at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) and Bye-Fellow at Queens’ College, University of Cambridge. He is Principal Investigator of the project “Democratic Futures: Climate change, coloniality and planetary politics from below”. The project investigates the political visions and strategies of the transnational climate movement and how they help us understand the epistemic, spiritual, intersectional, decolonial and reparationist dimensions of planetary politics. His research interests include political and social theory, the politics of climate change, secularism and Islam in Europe, and decolonial and feminist theory. Using ethnographic methods as the basis for theorising, he has conducted fieldwork in Germany, Kenya, Mexico, Uganda, the UK and the US. Previously, he held research and teaching positions at The New Institute, Oxford, Yale, Leiden, the Woolf Institute, and Cambridge, where he received his PhD in Politics and International Studies. His work has appeared in the American Behavioral Scientist, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Political Theory, Social Compass, and Space & Culture. He has also published various op-eds, including in Nature.
