Amy Chandran is the College Fellow in Harvard University’s Government Department. Her dissertation examined Leviathan, the most famous work of Thomas Hobbes, and especially the importance of the work’s second half (on theology and sacred history) for understanding Hobbes’s political philosophy. More broadly, her research spans historical and contemporary questions of right, power, obligation, freedom and religion.
