His extensive publications and academic work at the University of Aberdeen focused on species such as gannets and cormorants.

Rancière, Lefort, Abensour and the Antinomies of Politics
Exploring the works of Jacques Rancière, Claude Lefort, and Miguel Abensour, this book presents a provocative interpretation of democracy as an emancipatory project. It delves into a lesser-known aspect of contemporary French political thought, challenging conventional views on democracy's limits. By connecting these thinkers, the author highlights democracy's transformative potential against domination and inequality, urging a reevaluation of its nature and implications for society and politics. Bryan Nelson, a professor at Humber College, guides this insightful discourse.
