Thomas Jacobs est Chargé de Cours en Information et Communication à l’UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles, et co-directeur d’Engage — Research Center for Publicness in Contemporary Communication. Thomas s’intéresse à la dimension discursive et stratégique de la communication politique. Il travaille sur la théorie de l’hégémonie, le post-structuralisme, le post-Marxisme, la stratégie politique, et l’école d’Essex en analyse de discours. Du point de vue empirique, il se concentre sur les dynamiques politiques et les politiques économiques externes de l’Union européenne. Ses recherches ont été publiées dans des journaux comme Contemporary Political Theory, Critical Discourse Studies, Critical Review, Journal of Language and Politics, Rethinking Marxism, et International Journal for Social Research Methodology, et il a contribué au Routledge Handbook of Critical European Studies et au Handbook of Political Discourse. Sa première monographie, Hegemony, Discourse, and Political Strategy, est parue chez John Benjamins en 2022. Auparavant, il faisait partie du Ghent Institute for International and European Studies (Ghent University) et du Centre for Ideology and Discourse Analysis (University of Essex). Sa thèse doctorale, intitulée Winning Hegemony, a gagné le Prix Els Witte pour la meilleure thèse doctorale de Belgique et des Pays-Bas en 2021. Il fait partie du conseil d’administration de DiscourseNet. Il enseigne en anglais, français, et néerlandais.
