Simon T. Kaye

I’m working on a PhD at present, which is broadly to do with democratic theory. This is based in King’s College London’s department of Political Economy.

Needless to say I’m based in London. I studied my undergrad degree at Queen Mary and got my MSc at the London School of Economics. I’ve also spent two years learning journalism skills at City University.

For a long time, I’ve been splitting my time between appropriately themed research internships, writing for the Westminster office of a Liberal Democrat MP, and trying to get stuff (papers, stories) published. My first publication appeared in the February 2010 edition of the journal History and Theory. You’ll see more of this sort of thing in my CV, a version of which I’ve put up on this site.

A friend described my musical tastes  – quite effectively – as “pointlessly epic”. I also love movies and telly, technology, videogames and the internet – and anything about science fiction.

My current favourite books are those in the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian.

I’m a real optimist, though caffeine helps at times.

This website is a place for everything I don’t think I’d be able to find an outlet for otherwise. Politics, media, entertainment, writing, travel and other such stuff. In the longer term, this site, or another site on this domain, may become a place for working papers, links to publications and other academic material.

This site has been running, on and off, for several years – so if you go delving in the archives, you might find some youthful, strange stuff. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
