Markus’s research and teaching concern contentious politics and democratic ideas.

He is particularly interested in how people care for common spaces and for others’ inclusion in them.

In the journal Constellations, he recently published a co-authored article with Zohreh Khoban, To Walk the Walk: Why We Need to Make Things Personal in Public Deliberation.
