Matteo Bonotti is Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations at Monash University, having previous taught at Cardiff University, Queen’s University Belfast, and the University of Edinburgh. His research interests include democratic theory, political liberalism, linguistic justice, free speech, civility, and food justice. These interests are diverse but unified by a common underlying theme: ethical pluralism and cultural diversity in contemporary societies, and the question of how the state should respond to them.

Matteo's work has appeared in such journals as the American Political Science Review, the Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science, Political Studies, the Journal of Applied Philosophy, and the European Journal of Political Theory. He is the author of Partisanship and Political Liberalism in Diverse Societies (Oxford University Press 2017), the co-author of Healthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy: A Public Reason Approach (Oxford University Press 2022) and Recovering Civility during COVID-19 (Palgrave Macmillan 2021), and the co-editor of Australian Politics at a Crossroads: Prospects for Change (Routledge 2024) and A Century of Compulsory Voting in Australia: Genesis, Impact and Future (Palgrave Macmillan 2021).
