Research Overview

As a historian of order, empire, and emergence, his work has historical dimensions, but is ultimately concerned with applying these with a contemporary relevance, seeking to construct histories of the present. Currently, his work focusses particularly on International Relations as a 'science of empire' and seeks to trace the historical emergence of the formalised academic discipline from a hidden past of colonial race science and eugenics whilst critically deconstructing the legitimising function that scientific discourses are co-opted to serve within the field in the present day.

Drawing on concepts of complexity, non-Newtonian approaches to time and order, and non-linear dynamics, Jude's work seeks to stretch approaches to historical study beyond the orthodox, whilst seeking to broaden these further with radical and decolonial approaches to power and order. His work thus draws on a wide and diverse theoretical framework whilst building on critical approaches that can help shed light on the practice of history and its relation to power, especially the work of Michel-Rolph Trouillot and others.
