I am Jeremi Dolecki, a political theorist whose research lies at the intersection of psychoanalysis, critical theory, and the study of the contemporary manosphere.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Northwestern University and expect to defend my dissertation in June 2027.

My dissertation, which I am also developing into a book project for a Routledge series, reconstructs the political thought of Wilhelm Reich, a twentieth-century Austrian psychoanalyst and social theorist. Reich sought to explain why individuals become emotionally invested in fascism, authoritarianism, and their own political subordination. He argued that authoritarian character structures are formed through the repression of infantile sexuality and the reproduction of hierarchical relationships within the nuclear family.

My broader research applies and develops this framework to deepen our understanding of contemporary political phenomena, including the new far right, incel communities, the manosphere, and antifeminist movements.
