Dr. Roderick Condon
Teaching Fellow (Sociology)
Teaching Fellow (Sociology)
Roderick Condon is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Trinity College Dublin. He received his PhD in Sociology from University College Cork in 2018. His main research focus is in general social theory and critical social theory, with a particular interest in the tradition associated with the Frankfurt School. Within this field his work explores questions concerning the theory of society and the critique of capitalism after the cultural turn in sociology and the communicative turn in critical theory. To date, he has focused on reconceptualising the theory of reification with a view towards its application in linguistic and cultural analysis. This intersects with a substantive interest in questions concerning new social movements, the public sphere, and - broadly - democracy and capitalism after the neoliberal turn; questions that shape an additional interest in political sociology. More recently, he has turned to environmental sociology with an interest in analysing contemporary ecological crisis. Methodologically, he is interested in various forms of communication, discourse, and cultural analysis. He is currently working on a book, based on his PhD thesis, provisionally titled `Reconsidering Habermas's Colonization Thesis: A Critical Theory of Neoliberalism'. His work has been published in European Societies and European Journal of Social Theory.
