Profile

Dr. Felix del Campo is a political theorist and Teaching Fellow at the Department of Sociology, Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom.

Del Campo’s research examines the relationship between contemporary far-right politics and neoliberal political economy.

In particular, del Campo engages with Marxist, feminist, queer, and decolonial theories to understand the intertwinement of racial, sexual, and gender orders in the construction of neoliberal ideas of “the economy” and “the political.”

His work, “New Culture Wars: Tradwives, Bodybuilders and the Neoliberalism of the Far-right”, and “Live in Value’s Shadow: The Capitalist State, Depoliticisation, and the Spectre of the Far-right,” has been published by *Critical Sociology* (2023, 2025). He is a regular collaborator of the Historical Materialism Gender and Sexualities Research Network.

His book “Free-Market Anticapitalism” is currently under contract with Brill: Historical Materialism series.
