Matthew David Hamilton

Dr. Matthew David Hamilton earned his Ph.D. in Government from Georgetown University in 2025, focusing on Political Theory and International Relations. More specifically, his research combines normative political theory; work in the history of ideas and of IR; and international relations scholarship to analyze world politics and rethink theories of global justice. His dissertation redefines self-determination in the context of global justice to focus instead on individual non-domination. He has also published on non-domination in artificial intelligence and the history of Rise-and-Fall Theory in international relations. Matthew previously earned an M.A. from Princeton Theological Seminary and maintains an interest in St. Augustine's thought. He also enjoys NBA basketball and Balcones whiskey.
