Mollie Eisner is a PhD candidate in the Politics Department at Princeton University, specializing in political theory and intellectual history. Mollie researches the intersection of political theory and literature; she analyzes political theoretical texts with literary hermeneutics, and she reads works of literature as potential sources of political theory, with the objective of not only diversifying the canon of the history of political thought, but also challenging its foundational epistemes. While her work analyzes historical texts, Mollie often connects these works to contemporary scholarship on feminist theory, critical race theory, animal ethics, and climate change. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies at Princeton, Mollie received a bachelor of arts in English and political theory from Bowdoin College and taught high school English at Northfield Mount Hermon.
