Peder Schaefer

I'm a Brussels-based freelance journalist and book researcher writing about the transatlantic relationship, technology and the European Union.

I also write a newsletter on transatlanticism. Check it out here and below.

Academically, I'm interested in sortition, citizens' assemblies, deliberation, the writings of Hannah Arendt, and the history of deliberative democracy.

As a journalist I've filed for publications such as the New York Times, POLITICO, Parliament Magazine, Transformer News, Boston Globe, NBC News, Baltimore Sun, and Baltimore Banner. I've reported on issues such as the European Union, technology, housing, American politics, climate change, and breaking news coverage.

I'm always interested in new writing and collaboration opportunities — reach out via email.
