Thomas Charrayre, PhD student at CEVIPOF, selected for the CamPo PhD exchange programme with the University of Cambridge

The School of Research is pleased to announce that Thomas Charrayre, a PhD student in political science at CEVIPOF – Sciences Po's Centre for Political Research, has been selected to participate in the CamPo (Cambridge-Sciences Po) PhD exchange programme.

As part of this academic partnership of excellence between Sciences Po and the University of Cambridge, Thomas Charrayre will join the prestigious British institution as a visiting PhD student. He will continue his doctoral research there, which focuses on the intellectual history of conservatism, particularly the relationship between conservative thinkers and liberalism, and the plurality of their epistemological approaches.

Thesis topic: Cartographier la pensée conservatrice. Une histoire comparée des philosophies de Leo Strauss, Michael Oakeshott et Raymond Aron.

Launched in 2017, the CamPo programme is one of the pillars of scientific collaboration between Cambridge and Sciences Po. Initially focused on the humanities and social sciences, it has gradually expanded to other disciplines such as architecture, geography, business and science and technology. This interdisciplinary dynamic aims to encourage innovative projects with a strong impact.

The CamPo (Cambridge-Sciences Po) PhD exchange programme is supported by the Sciences Po Alumni UK Charity Trust.
