Current Fellows' research
- 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.
- Beyond Empire: Poland, Ukraine, and the End of Moscow’s Hegemony in Central Eastern Europe, 1980-1991When telling the story of the end of the Soviet Union, the focus is still mostly on events in Russia and Moscow.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Experts in Post-Imperial Transitions: Entanglements and Diverging Trajectories of Eugenicists between the Habsburg Empire and the Nation States, c. 1900–1939The project proposes a new integrative narrative about the history of eugenics in Habsburg and post-Habsburg territories, interpreted through imperial and post-imperial lenses.
