About
I am a historian of modern Europe and the global world. My research focus on the period of socialism in Cold War Europe connects multiple conceptual threads such as globalization, state welfare, social unrest, and transnational solidarity practices through historical as well as multi-sited ethnographic analysis. I invite you to learn more about my research, teaching, and ongoing academic projects by visiting my personal website.
