Research projects:
The ERC project "Non-Territorial Autonomy as Minority Protection in Europe. An Intellectual and Political History of a Travelling Idea, 1850–2000" (2018-2023) investigates non-territorial forms of organising national diversity, as they were conceived in the Habsburg Empire and further developed in Central and Eastern Europe in the interwar period. This collective rights approach grants cultural rights to a minority as a group without creating separate national territories.
Non-Ukrainians in revolutionary Ukraine, 1917-1921 (2025-2029)
This project focuses on analyzing the political, cultural and socio-economic agency of non-Ukrainians in Ukraine from a transnational perspective. We focus primarily on Poles, Jews and Russians - the three numerically and historically most important nationalities - but also include Germans, Greeks, Belarusians, Czechs and Moldovans/Romanians.
