Martin’s work develops a philosophy of practices of thinking, knowing, and feeling and across a variety of fields, interweaving a speculative pragmatism with an evolving pluralistic politics. He has a keen interest in the politics of difference, postcolonial thought, and in forms of thinking that are conceptually inventive, speculatively experimental, and sensibly pluralistic.
