Biography
Evangelia Sembou was born in Athens, Greece. She holds a B.A. in Politics and History from Queen Mary and Westfield College of the University of London, an M.Sc. in Social and Political Theory from The University of Edinburgh and a D.Phil. in Politics from Oxford University. She has taught at the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education and at several Oxford colleges, as well as at the Faculty of Continuing Education at Birkbeck, University of London, UK.

Without glossing over their distinctions - the one immersed in a hermeneutic undertaking, the other in historical context - Sembou navigates toward the possibility of a non-foundational social scientific knowledge without presuppositions. A fascinating read.’ David Kreps, University of Salford, UK
