Panos Theodoropoulos

Lecturer in Social Justice

Biography

Panos is a Lecturer in Social Justice at the Centre for Public Policy Research in the School of Education, Communication and Society at King's College London. He is also affiliated with the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow. His primary interest lies in the formation of political subjectivities; he is interested in exploring what prevents the most oppressed segments of society from organising themselves, as well as in the forms that this organisation may assume. Outside of academia, he is an editor, author, and founding member of the Interregnum collective, an autonomous platform that aims to make critical theory relevant and accessible. His work has also been hosted in ROAR Magazine, The Conversation, The Hampton Institute, and Bella Caledonia. Panos is currently finishing his first monograph titled 'The Precarious Migrant Worker: The Socialisation of Precarity', due to be published through Polity Press in the spring of 2025.
