Aristel Skrbic is a legal and political philosopher. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University’s Faculty of Law where he is working on decolonial political theory and international migration law as part of the ERC funded MIGJUST project. Aristel obtained a PhD in philosophy at KU Leuven’s Institute of Philosophy in 2024 where he held an individual fellowship from the Flemish Research Council (FWO). In his project, Aristel worked on a novel approach to EU law at the intersection of constitutional theory and a critique of legal reasoning. The project resulted in five publications, principal among which is “Ideology in the Adjudication of the ECJ”, published in Law and Philosophy in 2023. As part of his project, Aristel was a visiting researcher at the law faculties of University of Vienna and Harvard University. In addition to his philosophical training, Aristel also holds an LLM in European and International Public Law from KU Leuven’s Faculty of Law. Beyond academia, Aristel is trained as a classical musician (Royal College of Music, London), and has so far called five countries home.
