Professor and Chair Alex Tuckness

My teaching and research is in political theory.  I am interested in exploring the interconnections between the ideas of the past and the political debates of the present.  My research has explored topics such as toleration, mercy, punishment, humanitarian intervention, ethics and public service, and revolutions.  My most recent book with Cambridge University Press examines the history of act and rule-based approaches to ethics and politics. I am currently doing research on factors that decrease Christian nationalism.
