Daniela Cammack

Since receiving my Ph.D. from Harvard in 2013, I've held positions at Harvard (Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows), Stanford (visiting research fellow) and Yale (visiting lecturer and assistant professor). In July 2019, I joined the University of California, Berkeley, as an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science. Since September 2020, I've also been affiliated with the Department of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies (formerly Classics). I'm currently finishing a lengthy reinterpretation of ancient Greek democracy, after which I mean to write a sequel assessing popular politics at critical junctures from the Roman Republic to the present through ancient Greek eyes. I have research and teaching interests in ancient Greek, Roman, and modern political ideas and practices, with special enthusiasm for Aristotle, Hobbes, Rousseau, and Marx and Engels, and the topics of political representation, collective agency, and demotic law and justice.
