About

My name is Andrew Sackin-Poll and I am a final-year doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge (Trinity Hall) under the supervision of Dr Ian James. My doctoral research rethinks both the ordinary as a category or topos for theory and epic narrative form on the basis of the novel reconfiguration of the relationship between literature and the body found in the works of Michel Henry and François Laruelle. More on my research can be found under the “Projects” tab. 

I am a translator of philosophical, theoretical, and theological texts, having translated works by Jean-Louis Chrétien, Emmanuel Falque, Michel Henry, and François Laruelle. 

As well as being a translator, I have also taught translation for nearly three years in the French Section of the Faculty of Modern & Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge.
