My name is Lewis Page. From 2026, I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Yale University. I study political theory and the history of political thought with a focus on the twentieth century. My research is united by guiding interests in questions of international and global political order and in the politics of knowledge and expertise. I am developing a dissertation project on the political thought of Elisabeth Mann Borgese, daughter of Thomas Mann and influential voice in international maritime law and ocean governance. My other works in progress include a study of empire and pluralism in the international thought of Edmund Burke and a critical reconsideration of the endurance of the concept of “planning” in the writings of Edward C. Banfield, the conservative urban theorist. I maintain a strong interest in interpretive methods and the history, philosophy, and methodology of the social sciences. Before Yale, I held various positions in publishing and journalism including as a Luce Scholar reporting and writing for The Caravan magazine in New Delhi, India from 2019 to 2020 and as Associate Editor of the Journal of Democracy in Washington, D.C. from 2023 to 2025. I earned my MA from the University of British Columbia and my BA from the University of Chicago.
