Studije Jugoslavije
SHORT CV:
International cultural worker, critic, theorist, and scholar working in the fields of cultural, gender, and literary studies. In my research and art-theory political interventions I examine and impact on the terror of inequality, the solidarity of unbribable life, relevant knowledge production, and material memories of war and genocide. I hold a Ph.D. in Literary and Cultural Studies from De Montfort University, Leicester. I am a member of art-theory group Spomenik and one of founders of the Yugoslav Studies—a production space for the interaction of art, theory, education, and politics.
