Taherkhani, Mostafa
PhD Candidate, Researcher
Mostafa Taherkhani is a Ph.D. candidate at Sciences Po Law School. In his dissertation, he is trying to posit a Derridean reading of international law. More specifically, under the supervision of Prof. Jean d’Aspremont, Mostafa seeks to criticize the critical scholarship of international law with the help of post-structuralist weltanschauung, especially that of Derrida.
In his first Ph.D. at Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran (SBU), Mostafa worked on Jacques Derrida's general legal theory and tried to proffer a new reading of and insight into his legal thoughts. In 2019-2020, he was a research scholar at Cardozo School of Law and worked on this subject under the supervision of Prof. Peter Goodrich.
Mostafa also holds an L.L.B and an L.L.M from SBU. His L.L.M thesis was focused on anarchist legal theory, scrutinizing the seminal works of classic anarchists such as Proudhon, Bakunin and Berkman, amongst others.
His main research interests include Marxist legal theory, post-structural legal theory, and generally, left-wing legal thought.
