Assistant Professor Benjamin A Schupmann received his PhD in Political Science from Columbia University. Besides Yale-NUS College, he has also worked at Duke Kunshan University and the National University of Singapore.
In his research, Asst Prof Schupmann examines what early twentieth century German political and legal theory has to offer to twenty-first century democratic constitutionalism. He believes that those thinkers grappled with problems similar to some of the most pressing problems facing democracies today, including democratic backsliding and the legitimacy of democracy’s self-defense. In his research, he aims to show that we can still learn much from their theories and solutions to those problems.
