Vincent Alec Harting

As of September 2025, I am a Fellow in Political Theory at the Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), as well as a Research Affiliate in the research projects ‘Contours of a Non-Oligarchic Democratic Future’ and the ‘Programme on Cohesive Capitalism’. Before this, I was a Guest Teacher in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method (2024-2025), where I taught several courses on philosophy and public policy. I was awarded my PhD from the Department of Government in 2024.

My main research interests are in normative political theory, moral philosophy, democratic theory, the history of socialist political thought (especially that of Austro-Marxism and Analytical Marxism), and theories of economic justice. More particularly, my core theoretical aim is to vindicate the normative credentials of democratic socialism, as well as to state the need to bring back critical class analysis to questions of institutional design and the imperative to empower workers through it.

If you share these interests and aims, and want to discuss, please drop me an email!
