Current Fellows' research
- Exploring Leibniz’s View of Infinite Numbers and Its Possible EvolutionThis thesis explores Leibniz’s views on infinity and their potential evolution through engagement with some later philosophies.
- Post-Europe and the Ethos of Responsibility. Rethinking Europe since Jan Patočka and CEE’s dissidentsThe aim of this research is to explore the relevance of Jan Patočka’s complex theorization of the concept of Post-Europe.
- What Did It Mean to Be “European” in Early Modern Florence?The primary focus of this project is to understand how the idea of Europe was conceptualized in early modern Florence and to discern the place Poland-Lithuania occupied within this framework.
- Faith and Flag: Religious Nationalism in the Age of PopulismThe gods are once again afoot in the public square. Across the globe, a toxic mixture of religion and nationalism is upending liberal conventions. In the United States, Christian nationalists have reshaped both the Republican Party and American politics.
- A Tale of Three CitiesThis project consists of a deep dive into three case studies in Central and Eastern Europe to understand what helped them change the momentum and start attracting talent, instead of losing it.
- Resistance, Temporariness and Political (Dis)Continuity: Urban Governance and Refugees’ Labor Market Integration in Hamburg and IzmirThe project explores urban governance of refugee integration through a local-to-local interregional comparison. The interregional dimension is essential for uncovering similar local rationales despite national-level differences.
