Biography

Paul Muldoon is a Lecturer in Political Theory and Global Politics, and undergraduate coordinator for the department of politics.

Paul Muldoon holds a BA (Hons Politics) and a PhD from Monash University as well as a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education. He specialises in the field of modern political theory, with particular reference to impact of the politics of identity and the politics of consumerism on democratic theory and practice. Paul is currently working on two research projects. The first seeks to shed light on contemporary debates about Indigenous citizenship by examining the principles and techniques of governance that have been applied to Indigenous people in colonial and postcolonial Australia. The second project looks at the turn to reconciliation in post-conflict and postcolonial societies and seeks to interrogate its status as a form of 'politics'.
