His interdisciplinary research in contemporary philosophy, architectural studies, and psychoanalysis examines how oppressive power systems function and for ways to resist them. He has addressed this problematic in his book The Subject of Liberation: Zizek, Politics, Psychoanalysis (2014), other publications, conference presentations, and talks. His current biopolitical research exams the relation between suffering, struggle, and life. It will result in a series of articles and his co-written book Life Examined (under contract with Oxford University Press).
