Ugur Aytac

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Utrecht University. My research focuses on democratic theory, political legitimacy, worker resistance, the digital public sphere, political realism, and ideology critique. My current project develops an experimental conception of political legitimacy, examining how experiments with institutions can help identify what a legitimate political order looks like. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals including American Political Science Review, The Journal of Politics, Political Theory, Philosophy & Technology, and Political Studies.
