Dr Musab Younis
Associate Professor in Political Theory
Musab Younis is Associate Professor of Political Theory at Oxford and Jarvis Doctorow Fellow in Politics at St Edmund Hall.
After doing his MPhil and DPhil at Oxford, Musab was a Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London for six years. He came back to Oxford in 2024 as Associate Professor of Political Theory and Jarvis Doctorow Fellow in Politics at St Edmund Hall.
Musab works on international political thought, with a focus on race, empire and anticolonialism especially during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His approach connects the history of thinking about empire to topics in contemporary political theory. His research has taken three main directions: i) anticolonial political thought, especially Black and African anticolonial thought; ii) histories of thinking about race and racism; and iii) questions of space, scale and globality.
Musab teaches undergraduate students doing PPE and History and Politics at Teddy Hall, with a focus on political theory. He teaches part of the Prelims (first-year) paper Introduction to Politics; the second- and third-year Theory of Politics paper; and other optional political theory papers for second and third years.
