Life

After holding positions at the National University of Singapore and the University of Otago in New Zealand , Springer joined the University of Victoria in 2012. Simon Springer examined the relationship between neoliberalism , violence, law and biopolitics ( "biopolitics") against the background of a post-structuralist criticism and a new imaginary anarchist philosophy ( postanarchism ). He names the dialectic between contemporary political regimes and a persistent primitive belief in accumulation. He establishes geographical references through theoretical work on the construction of space.

Springer is working hard on the political transformation in Cambodia . He is an atheist , vegan , straight edger , describes himself as a pacifist and does not send his children to school ( unschooling ).
